From the back of the book: "Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney was never a devotee of tarot cards and crystal balls. But when the fortune-teller at the county fair suggests she redream her life, Ave Maria figures maybe a little redirection is in order. After all, her daughter has hit every parents nightmare: puberty. Ave Maria used to think that motherhood was lifes one permanent job, but not anymore. Its the only one in which your skills become totally obsolete overnight. So in the face of coed partied, starter bras, and frank sex talks and with her husband, Jack, playing the cool, mellow dad Ave Maria tries to prepare herself for the day when Etta will rebel big time. Everyone in Big Stone Gap knows its coming: Crusty cashier Fleeta has warned her, delightfully naught Iva Lou has consoled her, even new mother Pearl understands but that doesnt make it any easier. From the bottom of the Cumberland Gap to the top of Crackers Neck Holler, and across the ocean to the Italian Alps of her familys homeland, Ave Marias world will never be quite the same againespecially now that theres a teenager smack dab in the middle of it. Book is in excellent condition, does not look "read".
