In line ahead of him, an unkempt and seemingly unstable young woman comes up short on cash, so Eric offers her twenty bucks and a ride home. Trouble is, Danielle doesn't really have a home. She's squatting in a cabin deep in the woods: no electricity, no plumbing, no heat. Eric, with problems of his own, tries to walk away, but finds he can't. Fending off her mistrust of him, he gets her set up with food, water, and firewood, and departs with relief. But when he climbs back to the road, his car is gone, and in desperation he returns to the cabin. As the storm intensifies, these two lost souls are forced to wait it out together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Deeply moving, frequently funny, \u003ci\u003eThe Remedy for Love \u003c\/i\u003eis a story about the secrets revealed when there is no time or space for anything but the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A superbly grown-uplove story.\" --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews, \u003c\/i\u003e starred review \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Brilliant . . .
