By Book 4, this story is just worn out. What happened to the author’s sense of humour? The main character Ave Maria has aged into an annoying bore, her husband & daughter now so 1-dimensional you could care less. Granted there are still a few gems. When Freeta (the jaded old lady who works the diner) is asked if she’s planning to wear a veil at her upcoming wedding she responds pithily “Hell no, a veil at my age I’d look like a beekeeper” But lines like that are just an echo of the charm & lightness that was prevalent in the 1st novel "Big Stone Gap". There was some interesting tension created between Iva Lou & Ave Maria as their friendship takes a bad turn, handled well. Other than that, pretty poor effort”
