Bookworm Review: “Big Cherry Holler” by Adriana Trigiani
Big Cherry Holler by Adriana Trigiani
The Random House Publishing Group, 2001
First Line: The rain is coming down on this old stone house so hard, it seems there are a hundred tap dancers on the roof.
From the back cover: Eight years have passed since Ave Maria Mulligan married Jack Mack, moved up into the hills, and dug her roots in even deeper. Bust Ave Maria soon discovers that the mountains cannot shelter her from the painful lessons of the heart. As her life reaches a crossroads, almost everybody in town has advice to offer- including the Bookmobile’s self-appointed sexpert Iva Lou Wade, savvy pharmacy owner Pearl Grimes (“a very mature twenty-four”), crusty chain-smoking cashier Fleeta and of course, the always-wise band director Theodore Tipton, no unofficially “out” and about. But when Ave Maria takes her daughter to Italy for the summer, her passion for a seductive stranger will test her marriage- and push her to choose the man who is truly her destiny.
My Thoughts: I absolutely adored book #1 of the Big Stone Gap series, so I couldn’t wait to read book #2. Big Cherry Holler did not disappoint. It takes a wild twist that you don’t see coming which makes it exciting and devastating at the same time. This book introduces the reader to an older Ave Maria who has been married for over a decade and had 2 children, but after losing her youngest, her marriage starts to take a turn for the worst. This is a wonderful story about never giving up and working through pain and loss.
The story also takes us back to Italy (which I am a total sucker for) and gives you a taste of that Italian tradition. Ave Maria takes her daughter Etta to meet the extended family and she falls in love with her Italian heritage, and a certain Italian boy as well.
I love how these books incorporate a lot of comic relief in the middle of a sad or tough moment so that the books never get too depressing. This series is about real life. You’ll find no fairy tale love stories here. This teaches you to work at it. Love is never simple and it is something you must always work for and fight for.

Encouragement
I feel like so many people are going through a rough time right now. Whether it is finances, heart aches, health issues, or tough relationships. I have friends going through all of the above and personally. I am going through some of them myself.
I wholeheartedly believe in speaking life into people. Words are so important because you can rip someone to pieces or you can lift their spirits and give them the encouragement they may need to get through the day. I wanted to give all of you a little encouragement today along with myself. I could definitely use it right now.

Valentine’s {Giveaway}
Valentine’s Day Link-up and a {Giveaway}
Hello loves!! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating love with your significant others, friends and families! Ry and I don’t have any big plans for tonight since I have still been battling this cold, so I think we are going to stay in and avoid the crowds. On the plus side, I woke up to this this morning! Just what every sick girl needs- a cookie! 🙂
Today, I’m linking up with Melissa for the Valentine’s Day link-up! We were instructed to answer the following questions and then give them to our husbands to answer and see how the answers compare. I can’t wait to read everyone’s answers! Let’s do this…
Her Answers:
-How long have you been married? 1.5 years
-Where was your first date? We hung out so much that I really don’t remember where our first date date was.
-Where was your first kiss? Gatlinburg, TN. It was snowing and it was perfect.
-Who first said, “I love you”? Ryan, after his friends wedding in Birmingham. I was pretty shocked because we had only been dating for one month, but when you know, you know I guess.
-What were your wedding colors? It was a fall wedding so we had tradittional fall colors- Yellow, brown, orange, a little red and green.
-What is her most commonly used phrase? I say “:really?” very sarcastically.
-Who is her celebrity crush? I have several. Gavin DeGraw, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Matthew McConaughey, Michael Buble, etc.
-What is the best meal she has ever cooked you? Probably vegetables and meat. That is his favorite meal.
-What is the worst meal she has ever cooked you? Vegetable Soup. I put the noodles in way too early and they exploded in the soup and it tasted awful. Apparently I am not meant to cook the easiest thing in the world.
-What is the most-played song on her iPod? Something from Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble or one of my soul sistas (Tina, Aretha, etc.)
-What would she say is your most annoying habit? Biting his nails. Two year olds bite their nails. Not 27 year olds.
-What is the last thing she does before she goes to bed? Pees. I have to go pee right before I go to sleep, even if I went 5 minutes before.
If you could throw out one item of her clothing what would it be? I’m not sure about this one. He has never said anything about any of my clothes, although I do wear t-shirts almost daily and he probably wishes I dressed better. I don’t know that he would throw them out though because that would cause serious issues, counseling, etc.
What would you say is your favorite thing about her? She is the most charming, beautiful, fun, loving person in the world. Right?
-What’s her go-to drink at Starbucks? White Chocolate Mocha unless it is Peppermint Mocha season.
-What’s her blog’s name?! Southern Sunflowers and Coffee Beans
