Summary

A drifter since his teens, Jimmy Dorsett has no home and no hope. What he does have is a duffel bag, a lot of stories, and a junker car. Then one cold desert night, he picks up a hitchhiker and ends up with something more: a letter from a dying man to the son he hasn't seen in years.

On a quest to deliver the letter, Jimmy travels to Rattlesnake, a small town nestled in the foothills of the California Sierras. The centerpiece of the town is the Rattlesnake Inn, where the bartender is handsome former cowboy Shane Little. Sparks fly, and when Jimmy's car gives up the ghost, Shane gets him a job as handyman at the inn.

Both within the community of Rattlesnake and in Shane's arms, Jimmy finds an unaccustomed peace. But it can't be a lasting thing. The open road continues to call, and surely Shane - a strong, proud man with a painful past and a difficult present - deserves better than a lying vagabond who can't stay put for long.

Amazing story, beautifully told 🥰🥰🥰🥰

All the stars for this one. Read the story back in 2015, and I think it's Kim Fielding's best work to date, although The Tin Box really does run it a pretty close second. This audio was buried in my audio library, and as per usual of course, KC Kelly tells a superlative tale. My book review from 2015 read...

Deserves all the plaudits it's received. Simply superb, I ADORED this story of Jimmy and Shane. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, but worth so many more and you WILL need tissues unless you've got a heart made of stone. Completely and utterly fabulous.

Slow relaxing listen

Gentle story of two men slowly opening up to each other and bonding.
Learning to trust, starting to live, no longer drifting through.
Risks getting lost among more demanding books but it makes a lovely breather. Characters to care about without 'must read' urgency.

Audio adds to the experience, laid-back and suiting the setting it brings the warmth of the story alive.

Just OK

A small town story with lots of kind side characters and people telling story's. The romance is a bit boring. Narrator is good.
