Join Matthew, the handyman in his various callouts in Gat County as he restores order to his clients' houses - from fixing a burst pipe to patching a drywall, and partake in his musings from his astute observations of and interesting interactions with his quirky clients, including a cross-dresser, and his lovable colleagues.
I was reading a press report about a handyman and realized there aren't many stories in the literary world that feature a handyman as a hero/protagonist in a novel. I thought his work - restoring order to clients' houses by fixing their malfunctioning stuff to patching up walls - would be a nice metaphor for him bringing about changes in people's lives through his interactions with them. So I decided to explore his world: his clients, colleagues and work, and life in general.
