BIG STONE GAP

In Big Stone Gap, a hamlet in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, pharmacist Ave Maria Mulligan, a student of ancient Chinese face-reading, learns that at the age of 35 something significant will change her life. Grace Bennett's earthy and rich narration takes the listener on Ave Maria's journey during this discovery. With charm and gutsy charisma, Bennett describes this woman's deepest fears, longings, disappointments, and the rocky path to a woman's final destination. When Jack comes into Ave's life, Bennett turns up the sexual tension, and listeners will fall in love with love along the way. Bennett perfectly delivers a cozy and charming story.
