  <default-description>As a child, Jessie Lockwood spent many hours helping her mother, Mariah, count the endangered ginseng plants hidden in the local woods of Deep Down, Kentucky. There she learned to appreciate the tiny Appalachian town&#8212;and ginseng's healing powers. Now a PhD, she's made her home in Lexington, even though that meant leaving Deep Down and her beloved mother&#8212;and Sheriff Drew Webb, the man she secretly loved.&lt;P&gt;When Jessie is notified that her mother never returned from her last walk in the woods, she comes home to Deep Down&#8212;and to Drew. As Jessie and Drew race to find her mother, several suspects emerge: an agent for those who market the herb for its life-giving properties; Mariah's disgruntled suitor; and an old Cherokee desperate to protect the sacred tribal herb.&lt;P&gt;In the mist of legend and fear, only two things make sense to Jessie. At any cost, she is desperate to find her mother. And she can't help falling desperately in love with Drew all over again.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not too bad, overall. The most unrealistic part of the book is the romantic relationship between the sheriff and the scientist (hero and heroine). Set in the Kentucky hills and centering on &quot;sang&quot; (ginseng), the author maintains a non-condescending tone when discussing &quot;hillbillies&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63719945">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one is definitely different than her other books.  That being said, if you're a Harper fan, then you'll like it.  It does start out slow, but I just put it down and went back to it later and ended up finishing it. If you've never read Karen Harper before, probably not the best book to start wit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69909853">more...</a>]]></body>
