Big Stone Gap Film

[April Hester]

I just finished Adriana Trigiani's book, Big Stone Gap, and absolutely loved it!!  My mother was born and raised in West Virginia in a little nook in the mountains called Five Mile Holler (the name is puzzling because the holler can't be more than a half mile long!).  Reading this book took me back to my grandma's house and the characters I knew growing up, similar to the people I loved in the story of Big Stone Gap.  I would love nothing more than to see this movie filmed in the quaint little town that I grew to love in the short time it took me to read this book.  I want to see the actual town, some of the actual people and I know that anyone who has read this book has the same desires.  It just makes no sense to film it anywhere else.  Please let this happen...it would mean so much to the readers and even more to the lovely people of that town.  Well, I am off now to start Big Cherry Holler and only hope that it as just as good as the first story!

 

Sincerely,
