Patrick is a former sitcom star hiding in Palm Springs when his niece and nephew are dropped on his doorstep after their mother dies. He knows nothing about kids. They know nothing about grief. Together they figure both out. The feel-good queer novel everyone needed.
Clean — family and healing themes.

You'll laugh more than cry, but bring tissues for the end.
