For Jesse Winsloe, the answer is clear: head into hiding. Single again and laid off from work, Jesse flees to Onery Cabin to lick her wounds with her ancient aunt Will--a Granny woman with the secret to healing the lovelorn. Sure, Onery Cabin may be right out of Hollywood's Lifestyles of the Poor and Hillbilly, but Marrying Stone Mountain has its charm--including the local physician's assistant, Piney Baxley, a past recipient of Aunt Will's pungent "heartbreak poultice." Between folk remedies and a "no strings attached" romance, Jesse is beginning to think she's found her own brand of lovesick cure--because there's nothing like a pinch of confidence and a dash of attraction to mend a broken heart.

Sweet book, but the romance between Jesse and Piney seemed underdeveloped. There was the alleged conflict of Jesse eventually leaving town, but there was never any real crisis and while the Jesse and Piney both admitted to themselves that they were in love, I'm not sure they ever said the words out loud to each other! Relationship between Piney's teenage son, Tree, and his girlfriend Camryn was much more engaging.
I liked the way Morsi presented the Ozark lifestyle - neither glorified it nor mocked it. Aunt Will could have been a stereotypical wise woman or interfering busybody but she was somewhere in between.
