A nice, light hearted story about a woman's search for happiness. I really identified with the area Trigiani wrote about because I grew up only a hop, skip, and jump away (about an hour or so from Big Stone Gap). She had the language of the area and a lot of the characterizations spot on. Even though the story is fictional, it felt right. I know Powell Valley High School and areas such as Coeburn and Norton. I know the coal mines seeing as my dad worked in one for 25 years before Black Lung set in and eventually killed him. Heck, my sister and her family actually still live back in one of the "hollers". Anyway, it was a nice little story that brought back memories of the area I grew up. I will continue the series.
