With twists as plentiful as those found on the holler roads of southwest Virginia, this story takes turns that will surprise and enthrall the reader.<br><br>Transporting us from Ave Maria's home in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Italian Alps, from New York City to the Tuscan countryside, <b>Milk Glass Moon</b><i> </i>is the story of a shifting mother-daughter relationship, of a daughter's first love and a mother's heartbreak, of an enduring marriage that contains its own ongoing challenges, and of a community faced with seismic change.<br><br>All of Trigiani's beloved characters are back: Jack Mac, Ave Maria's true love, who is willing to gamble security for the unknown; her best friend and confidant, bandleader Theodore Tip-ton, who begins a new life in New York City; librarian and sexpert Iva Lou Wade Makin, who faces a life-or-death crisis. Meanwhile, surprises emerge in the blossoming of crusty cashier Fleeta Mullins, the maturing of mountain girl turned savvy businesswoman Pearl Grimes, and the return of Pete Rutledge, the handsome stranger who turned Ave Maria's world upside down in<b> Big Cherry Holler</b>. <br><br>In this rollicking hayride of upheaval and change, Ave Maria is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to people who enter her life and rock its foundation. As Ave Maria reaches into the past to find answers to the present, readers will stay with her every step of the way, rooting for the onetime town spinster who embraced love and made a family. <b>Milk Glass Moon</b><i> </i>is about the power of love and its abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical and heartfelt.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> 1129250 2002 Milk Glass Moon (Big Stone Gap, Book 3) total:1836|5:441|4:755|3:558|2:71|1:10| 1836 7055 2353 133 105696 0743450884 9780743450881 1521 109 3.84 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171558427m/105696.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105696.Milk_Glass_Moon 3 0 false Thu Aug 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 01:31:38 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 01:18:28 -0700 2009 http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/7035...
