It's 1978, and Ave Maria Mulligan is the thirtyfiveyearold selfproclaimed spinster of Big Stone Gap, a sleepy hamlet in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. She's also the local pharmacist, the cocaptain of the Rescue Squad, and the director of The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, the town's longrunning Outdoor Drama. Ave Maria is content with her life of doing errands and negotiating small detailsuntil she discovers a skeleton in her family's formerly tidy closet that completely unravels her quiet, conventional life. Suddenly, she finds herself juggling two marriage proposals, conducting a noholdsbarred family feud, planning a lifechanging journey to the Old Country, and helping her best friend, the highschool band director, design a halftime show to dazzle ElizabethTaylor, the violeteyed Hollywood movie star who's coming through town on acampaign stump with her husband, senatorial candidate John Warner.Filled with bigtime eccentrics and smalltown shenanigans, Big Stone Gap is a jewel box of original characters, including sexpot Bookmobile librarian Iva Lou Wade; Fleeta Mullins, the chainsmoking pharmacy cashier with a penchant for professional wrestling; the dashing visionary Theodore Tipton;Elmo Gaspar, the snakehandling preacher; Jack MacChesney, a coalminingbachelor looking for true love; and Pearl Grimes, a shy mountain girl on the verge of a miraculous transformation.
