After going through a tough breakup and seeing her ex with a new woman, Jesse decides she needs some time off (not that there's any lack of it, what with she was conveniently let off from her job as a teacher at the school where her ex happily works as the principal) and decides to go and visit her old Aunt Will. 
 At Marrying Stone mountain, Aunt Will is clearly not well and her advanced age is no consolation. While trying to care for her aunt, Jesse falls into an easy and liberating relationship with Piney. The story also has the romance of Piney's son and his girlfriend (who happens Jesse's niece). 
 The book has multiple story lines and can't be termed as typical chick lit. We get to be a part of the lives of a community and Jesse's romance is a very small part of the actual book. It is Piney's son's relationship that held my greatest interest. 
 Its a heartbreaking and simultaneously heartwarming story. If anybody's planning to read it thinking it is an out and out romance, then I'll warn you; pick something else.
