Happy Pride Month!
At our last book club meeting, it was announced that our June read is the book entitled The Guncle by Steven Rowley. The Guncle is a heartwarming and humorous novel about Patrick, a gay, retired TV star in Palm Springs, who unexpectedly becomes the guardian for his niece and nephew, Maisie and Grant, after their mother dies and their father enters rehab. The book follows Patrick as he navigates the challenges of temporary parenthood, using his "Guncle Rules" to help the children cope with grief while confronting his own past loss, resulting in a story about love, family, and healing. I loved this read and I hope you do, too!
We will meet to discuss The Guncle on Monday, June 22nd at 7 PM at the Downtown Woodgrain.
You can find The Guncle at your local library, favorite bookstore, or audiobook source.
