He’s thinking that a house has to be a better place to live than his current circumstances. With no ties left in Seattle except his cat Marmot (who will happily come with him), and no economic prospects whatsoever, he climbs into his barely functional car and sets out for the unknown. He’s broke, unemployed and has no place left to turn when the news that he owns a whole house in what he thinks of as the middle of nowhere turns out to be true and not the scam he expected it to be. Rye has been couch-surfing in Seattle since his most recent eviction. Rye inherited a house in Garnet Run from the grandfather he never met. Rye Janssen comes to the tiny town of Garnet Run Wyoming with not much more than the ghost of a plan – a ghost that gets exorcised just about the minute he arrives in town. Even better, you don’t have to read the first to enjoy the second, although both books are lovely and well worth reading. There are two kinds of plans going astray in this second book in the Garnet Run series, after last year’s terrific series opener Better Than People. The point is pretty clear, whatever the language.
The original phrase (in the original Scots) by the immortal Robbie Burns goes, “The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” But in contemporary English it’s usually paraphrased as “the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray”. Is this what it feels like to have a home-and someone to share it with? And the more time he spends with Charlie, the more he can see himself falling asleep in Charlie’s arms…and waking up in them. But the longer he stays in Garnet Run, the more he can see himself belonging there.
He isn’t used to people wanting to put things back together-not the crumbling house he just inherited, not his future and certainly not him. Rye Janssen has spent his life breaking things. When the man comes in for the fifth time in a week, Charlie can’t resist intervening. When a stranger with epic tattoos and a glare to match starts coming into Matheson’s Hardware, buying things seemingly at random and lugging them off in a car so beat-up Charlie feels bad for it, his instinct is to help. He took care of the cat he found in the woods…so now he has a cat. He took care of his father’s hardware store, building it into something known several towns over. When his parents died two days before his eighteenth birthday, he took care of his younger brother, even though that meant putting his own dreams on hold.
