A baby. It’s the one thing Romie Grodin, orphaned at thirteen, wants more than anything else in the world. A real homeplace. It’s what her coal-mining husband Jasper wants—needs—to provide for his family. When the couple’s best friend—their only “family”—is hurt in a mining accident and his wife becomes addicted to drugs, Romie and Jasper must make life-altering decisions that challenge their strengths and threaten their very existence and that of the land they love.
“Born to toil in an already-struggling coal town, the couple at the heart of Filling the Big Empty strive for a better life only to be blocked at every turn. Rhonda Browning White knows how powerfully things can go wrong when people feel they have no choice.”
–Stewart O’Nan, national bestselling author of Snow Angels and The Good Wife
“While Faulkner, O’Connor, and their allies gave us a South beset by ghosts from an impossible past and governed by malevolent grotesques beyond horror-film imaginings, the forces of evil in Rhonda Browning White’s New South are less otherworldly but just as deadly. Filling the Big Empty chronicles the struggles of a decent, working-class couple up against rapacious mining and development interests embedded in so many rural communities, with their attempts to fashion a simple but meaningful life complicated exponentially by the scourge of opioid addiction spreading across the landscape as implacably as Kudzu. This is a story that is alternately tender and tragic, and ultimately one that rings true.”
–Les Standiford, national bestselling author of Bringing Adam Home and Last Train To Paradise.
“Filling the Big Empty could only have been written by someone who knows firsthand the pain and heartbreak as well as the faith and resilience of the people in Appalachia’s deeply blighted and gloriously beautiful coal mining country. Rhonda Browning White’s love for her characters comes through in every word of this powerful and moving debut novel.”
–Ed Falco, NY Times Bestselling Author of The Family Corleone and Transcendent Gardening
“Filling the Big Empty is a marvelous novel. Rhonda Browning White’s view of life in Appalachia’s coal country is unsparing in its depiction of environmental and economic devastation, yet there is also hard-earned hope and resilience in her characters. They are never mere caricatures. Neither demonized nor sentimentalized, they are fully human, and we come to care deeply as they struggle to find their place in the world. Filling the Big Empty places Rhonda Browning White among our region’s best novelists.”
–Ron Rash, NY Times bestselling author of Serena and The Caretaker

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
