The Guncle: a Novel by Steven Row ley is available as a \;print book\, an \;e-book\, a \;downloadable audiobook< /a>\, and as a \;large print book \;in the library's collection.
\nPatrick\, or Gay Uncle Patrick (GUP\, for short)\, has always loved his niece\, Maisie\, and nephew\, Grant. That is\, he loves spending time wit h them when they come out to Palm Springs for weeklong visits\, or when he heads home to Connecticut for the holidays. But in terms of caretaking an d relating to two children\, no matter how adorable\, Patrick is honestly a bit out of his league.
\nSo when tragedy strikes and Maisie and Gr ant lose their mother and Patrick&rsquo\;s brother has a health crisis of his own\, Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of primary gua rdian. Despite having a set of &ldquo\;Guncle Rules&rdquo\; ready to go\, Patrick has no idea what to expect\, having spent years barely holding on after the loss of his great love\, a somewhat-stalled career\, and a lifes tyle not-so-suited to a six- and a nine-year-old. Quickly realizing that p arenting&mdash\;even if temporary&mdash\;isn&rsquo\;t solved with treats a nd jokes\, Patrick&rsquo\;s eyes are opened to a new sense of responsibili ty\, and the realization that\, sometimes\, even being larger than life me ans you&rsquo\;re unfailingly human.
