How do you face the future when the past won’t let you go?

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.

Soon she's juggling two unexpected marriage proposals and conducting a no-holds-barred family feud. The thought of spending the rest of her life in Big Stone Gap is suddenly overwhelming . . .

The ultimate Small Town American novel from the bestselling author of The Shoemaker's Wife.
