Description: “FUNNY, CHARMING, AND ORIGINAL.”
–FANNIE FLAGG

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the tiny town of Big Stone Gap is home to some of the most charming eccentrics in the state. Ave Maria Mulligan is the town’s self-proclaimed spinster, a thirty-five year old pharmacist with a “mountain girl’s body and a flat behind.” She lives an amiable life with good friends and lots of hobbies until the fateful day in 1978 when she suddenly discovers that she’s not who she always thought she was. Before she can blink, Ave’s fielding marriage proposals, fighting off greedy family members, organizing a celebration for visiting celebrities, and planning the trip of a lifetime–a trip that could change her view of the world and her own place in it forever. Brimming with humor and wise notions of small-town life, Big Stone Gap is a gem of a book with a giant heart. . . .

Read once, name on first page, looks like some animal chew marks on bottom of front cover that goes halfway through the book. Sticker residue on back cover. Still in readable condition!

**I received this from someone as a freebie and I never read it, but I know they did. I just wanted everyone to know that I do not mistreat any of my books, I was just given this one.
