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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMilk Glass Moon\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon't miss any of Adriana Trigiani's beloved Big Stone Gap series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIG STONE GAP - BIG CHERRY HOLLER - MILK GLASS MOON - HOME TO BIG STONE GAP\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilk 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.
