LOS ANGELES IS MY home, but Paradise, Idaho is my heaven… even
with its current two feet of snow and shocking lack of organic, vegan
restaurants. Not that I eat at those places, it’s just strange not to have them.
I may be crazy, but I find the snow refreshing. Near-constant sunshine
and four seasons that don’t look very different from each other gets boring.
And, vegan food is gross. Give me all the steak, make sure it’s wrapped in
bacon and cooked in lots of butter.

Which is exactly how they make them in Paradise at a little dive
restaurant with the campy name of the Garden of Eatin’. I mean, talk about
not judging a book by its cover. That restaurant is the same hidden gem
Paradise is.
On the other hand, Paradise’s best feature is not the dilapidated auto shop
my friend Georgia has been trying to convince me to buy since the first time
I visited this town last summer.
“Keep an open-mind, Cassie,” she says from the warmth of her giant
truck as we both stare at the old building at the end of a row of more old
buildings. “You’ve gotta trust my vision. You’ve got dreams, and I can
make them come true. I promise.”
I glance from her wide smile back to the building she’s described to me in
more glowing terms than its red brick and white, falling-down awning
deserve. A garage door with white peeling paint fronts the store, along with
a boarded-up door with a crack running down its glass pane. Two vacant
windows on either side of the door stare blankly into the distance. Large
letters at the top of the building spell out Auto Sh.
I shake my head. “You’re over-promising.”
I want to believe Georgia, if for no other reason than I feel a camaraderie
with the shop. Looking at it, I sense days of former glory that have been
forgotten. Maybe it would still be living those days if someone had believed
in it. If anyone had wanted and appreciated it.
Instead, it’s worn-out, broken, and ignored. Only noticed when someone
needs it.
I send Auto Sh a sympathetic smile and an I feel you, Sister.
But only in my head. I don’t want to give Georgia any ideas that I might
actually buy this place.
As much as I dream about leaving the police force and LA to open a
small-town bookstore, it’s just that: a dream. I can’t actually imagine
leaving behind the place I’ve lived my entire life or the job I used to love.
Most of all, I hate the idea I’m a quitter if I walk away from the fight
required to keep the job I used to love. That’s not who I am.
Not that I don’t believe in Georgia, even if I don’t believe her. If anyone
can turn an LAPD detective into a small-town bookstore owner, it’s the star
of her own home reno show, At Home With Georgia Rose. In the past year,
Georgia has taken a run-down Danish-inspired resort—Little Copenhagen,
