After a broken engagement and being laid off from her job, Jesse Winsloe decides to travel to Arkansas to visit her Aunt Will, a hills woman who is known for her healing abilities. Right away, Aunt Will slaps a smelly heartbreak poultice on Jesse's chest and tells her she has to wear it for six nights. But when Jesse meets Piney Baxley, the local physician's assistant, she begins to feel her heartbreak is just about over.
When I picked up this book, I thought it would be a historical romance like the other books in the series. This book is a contemporary romance set in the Ozark Mountains. But with Aunt Will living in an old cabin, working with roots and herbs to make her medicine, it certainly feels like a historical setting.
The main characters in this story are descendants of characters in the previous books. All of them are engaging, especially Aunt Will. Listening to her tell stories reminds me of listening to my own grandmother. Jesse and Piney are both very likeable. Jesse comes to the Ozarks to get over her broken engagement. She ends up taking care of her elderly aunt with the help of Piney. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
