Big Stone Gap
is the story of Ave Maria Mulligan who is something of an oddity in a sleepy hamlet where kids get married and start families at eighteen, and stay for ever. A self-proclaimed spinster, as the local pharmacist she’s been keeping the townsfolk’s secrets for years. Now Ave Maria is about to discover a scandal in her own family’s past that will blow the lid right off her quiet, uneventful life.
Big Cherry Holler
carries on the story of Ave Maria. It’s been eight years since she married coal miner Jack MacChesney. With her newfound belief in love and it’s possibilities, she has made a life for herself and her growing family. But the very fibre of their marriage is tested when they have to spend the summer apart.
Milk Glass Moon
continues the life story of Ave Maria as she faces the joys and demands of motherhood with her trademark humour and honesty. Reaching into her past to find answers to the present, Ave Maria is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to people who enter her life and rock its foundations.
