To unify her family, Ave Maria must harness the power of love and its abiding truth in this lyrical and heartfelt novel, the third installment of the New York Times bestselling Big Stone Gap series “Trigiani can make you laugh in one sentence then break your heart in the next.”—Mississippi Clarion-Ledger Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney has never been a devotee of tarot cards or crystal balls. And yet when the fortune-teller at the county fair suggests that it is time for her to “redream” her life, Ave Maria realizes she is wide open to suggestion. Not a bad idea considering that her beloved daughter, Etta, is growing up fast. In the face of the trials of adolescence, Ave Maria tries to prepare herself for the day when Etta will rebel big-time. Of course, everyone in Big Stone Gap sees it’s coming: Cranky cashier Fleeta has warned her, county sexpert Iva Lou has consoled her, even Pearl, now a mother herself, has lent her sympathy—but that doesn’t make the changes in Etta any easier to handle. Milk Glass Moon chronicles the challenges Ave Maria faces in her parenting and in her marriage, with more surprising twists and turns than on the mountain roads of southwest Virginia.

Milk Glass Moon, the third book in Adriana Trigiani's bestselling Big Stone Gap series, continues the life story of Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney as she faces the challenges and changes of motherhood with her trademark humor and honesty. 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. Transporting us from Ave Maria's home in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Italian Alps, from New York City to the Tuscan countryside, Milk Glass Moon 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. 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 Big Cherry Holler. 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. MilkGlass Moon is about the power of love and its abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical and heartfelt.

Lydia Johnson is seventeen when the atomic bomb is dropped on Japan in 1945. Her family had just moved from the valley that later became known as Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In a vast undertaking called the Manhattan Project, the government took over the valley for the construction of the atomic bomb. In the summer of 1942, fourteen-year-old Lydia is mostly consumed with talking to her friend Willamena about boys and staying out of Mama’s long reach. The Johnsons gradually become aware of the government’s encroachment. Stranger Robert Doleman shows up and first disrupts their idyllic lives. When he and Lydia meet, he is the disinterested city guy; she is the outgoing but naive country girl. Lydia’s and Robert’s paths cross again after she and Willamena happen upon the aftermath of a violent crime. The community is upset about the events, and Lydia is suspicious of Robert. As the community’s suspicion of the suspects turns to a couple of boys, Lydia begins to have romantic thoughts about Robert. The family's lives become even more disrupted as the children return to school and more strangers invade their peace. Finally, the family realizes that their life in the valley will never be the same as tumultuous events in their personal lives erupt and the government's invasion is complete.
