If home is where the heart is, what happens when yours is torn in two

Big Stone Gap is a sleepy village where people can go their whole lives without leaving. Its been the home of Ave Maria and her family for generations, but with her daughter now married and living in Italy, Ave realises its time to go in search of a new dream.

As a lifelong friendship falls apart and an unexpected health crisis threatens her family, Ave Marias world is shaken. And when a mysterious stranger comes to town and reveals a long-buried secret, she realises that in order to move forward with her life, first she must face up to the past . . .
