Adriana Trigiani answered Elizabeth Napolitano's question: Was this story based on anyone you knew or was it totally fictitious?

Adriana Trigiani answered Laura Jinkins's question: Not really a question, but I selected your book from the BOTM membership my daughter gave me for Mother's Day and I LOVED it! I experienced so many emotions on behalf of all your characters. And can I say how much I appreciated an engaging story that did not rely on foul language and graphic sex scenes every other page? Thank you so much! Thank you Laura! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! xxx

I finally saw Big Stone Gap last night. It was wonderful. It's been awhile since I read this series but some of it came back to me as I watched. Terrific cast. Ashley Judd WAS Ave. Jenna Elfman did a great job as well.

I can so relate to these books I came over from another country with my parents as a child and I understand the old fashion european ways and the sentimentality that goes with it.
