DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of \;The Guncle \;(2022-Humorous Fiction) \;by Stephen Rowley. (326 pp. - 4.17/5 on Goodreads).\n\nNo longer the star of a hit TV series\, Patrick O'Hara could not have imagined that his next leading role would be as caretaker of his brother's young children\, but when Greg checks into rehab following the death of his wife\, Sara\, there seems no one better suited to help Maisie and Grant process the loss of their mother than the man who had been her closest friend. Culture shock doesn't begin to address the adjustments the kids must make when they spend the summer away from their Connecticut neighborhood and in Patrick's opulent Palm Springs home. And Maisie and Grant aren't the only ones facing changes. As a single gay man\, Patrick had no parenting experience. What he does know\, however\, is how to give the children room to explore their feelings and offer sage advice as he becomes their dear ol' GUP (Gay Uncle Patrick). It's somewhat dire premise notwithstanding\, Rowley's (The Editor\, 2019) sensitive and witty exploration of grief and healing soothes with a delectable lightness and cunning charm.\n\nCopies book will be distributed at the April meeting and\, afterward\, are available by visiting the front desk at either Centerville or Woodbourne Library. The title is available in regular print\, large print\, eBook\, and eAudiobook. No registration is necessary\, but participants are encouraged to read the book prior to attending the discussion. \;\n\nPer CDC guidelines\, masks are now optional for in-person library programs held indoors. Please do not participate if you feel ill or are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. If conditions warrant\, programs may be offered virtually or cancelled. \;\nImage URL: https://wclibrary.info/images/blocks/pageTurners_guncle_block.jpg
