The Remedy For Love is a harrowing story about the truths we reveal when there is no time or space for artifice.  “A superbly grown-up love story” (Kirkus Reviews).

“Brilliant... A tale that is as gripping as any Everest expedition - and that is also tender and terrifying and funny and, in the end, so true it seems inevitable.”  -  Peter Heller, author of The Dog Stars and The Painter 

When the “Storm of the Century” threatens western Maine, Eric closes his office early and heads to the grocery store. 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. 

“Roorbach... is at the top of his literary game here. He is masterful in inviting readers along, allowing them to slowly get to know these two strangers as they get to know one another.”  -  Portland (Maine) Press Herald 

Deeply moving, frequently funny, The Remedy For Love is a story about the secrets revealed when there is no time or space for anything but the truth.
