The Guncle

Patrick, or Homosexual Uncle Patrick (GUP, for brief), has at all times beloved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant. That’s, he loves spending time with them once they come out to Palm Springs for weeklong visits, or when he heads residence to Connecticut for the vacations. However when it comes to caretaking and relating to 2 kids, irrespective of how cute, Patrick is, actually, overwhelmed.

So when tragedy strikes and Maisie and Grant lose their mom and Patrick’s brother has a well being disaster of his personal, Patrick finds himself abruptly taking up the position of main guardian. Regardless of having a set of “Guncle Guidelines” able to go, Patrick has no concept what to anticipate, having spent years barely holding on after the lack of his nice love, a somewhat-stalled performing profession, and a life-style not-so-suited to a six- and a nine-year-old. Shortly realizing that parenting–even if temporary–isn’t solved with treats and jokes, Patrick’s eyes are opened to a brand new sense of duty, and the belief that, generally, even being bigger than life means you are unfailingly human.

With the humor and coronary heart we have come to anticipate from bestselling creator Steven Rowley,
The Guncle is a shifting tribute to the ability of affection, persistence, and household in even probably the most attempting of occasions.
