"[...]for the emptiness of not having a baby of my own. And he's very congenial, too, for he's slim and flowery, pink and dimply, and as mannish as his father, in funny little flashes. "Git a stick to punch it, Molly," he was murmuring in his sleep. Then I heard the doctor call me and I had to kiss him, put him back in his bed, and go across the hall. Doctor John was standing by the table with this horrid small book in his hand and his mouth was set in a[...]".

Hart A distant cousin gave me her copy of this book--it had been given to her by my great-grandma, and she'd read it time and time again. She warned me, though, that there were outdated notions in the book and that it wouldn't be acceptable by today's standards.There is some truth to what she said; the book's age is apparent in many ways. The sort of small, gossipy, isolated town Molly lives in still exists today, but is not so common as it was in Molly's time. One can hope that a modern doctor wouldn't support, let alone suggest, some of the weight-loss measures Molly takes. And, of course, standards for widows--and for women in general--have changed.But Molly's personality is more timeless than the societal issues. Her frivolity, her fickle flirtation, and the realizations she makes as she becomes less childish all contribute to her likability and the writing's believability. Furthermore, the buildup to the climax is excellent. This book may never be considered a classic, but it is thoroughly enjoyable--a perfect read for a rainy afternoon.

Woman After her youthful love, Alfred Bennett, moves away to Europe, heartbroken Molly is talked into marrying ol' stick-in-the-mud Mr. Carter. He kicks the bucket after a few years. Now that she's free again, Alfred dares to renew his plight with love letters and the promise to return for her in their small Tennessee town. While Molly is ecstatic, she's also a little bit worried because, well, it's been a couple of years and she's kinda put on a couple of pounds since last Alfred saw her. And who hasn't! It happens to the best of us! There's nothing wrong with being slightly overweight!*Ahem*Molly rushes over to her neighbor, Doctor John Moore, for advice on how to shed those extra pounds. (Thus the "Melting" of the title.) As she starts to lose weight, she also starts to lose that excess baggage she's been carrying around and sees the world with fresh eyes. She also sees Judge Wade, the handsome unmarried man who seems to have just seen her as well. Then there's always her flirtatious cousin, Tom Pollard, who's the first to notice that Molly is slowly coming out of her mourning and back into the world. But we all know that it's Doc John and his precocious son Billy that Molly really needs to hook up with, if only these two adult would get their heads on straight and admit their feelings.
