Book Description
I was born to parents who abandoned me as an infant to a poor widowed grandmother. My life proves God has a good plan for every life regardless of how empty and hopeless that life is seen by everyone. My story tells of the beautiful life of love, purpose, and peace available when we accept Jesus Christ. And if we do our best to believe and follow the core values taught by my wise grandmother, sharing my private life of abandonment, sadness, loneliness, poor, and being made to feel unworthy will surely give hope to all who read--a life born empty with no one and a life rejected by everyone. But God had a plan for me. His plan was a grandmother.

The Guncle
Author: Steven Rowley
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1761107569
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
From the author of Lily and the Octopus comes a moving and deeply funny novel about a once-famous sitcom star who is left to care for his niece and nephew after an unexpected family tragedy. Patrick, or Gay Uncle Patrick (GUP for short), has always loved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant. That is, he loves spending time with them … in small doses, with their parents there to handle the tears and tricky questions. So when tragedy strikes and Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of primary guardian, he is, honestly, overwhelmed. Patrick has no idea what to expect, having spent years barely holding on after the loss of his great love, a stalled acting career, and a lifestyle not-so-suited to young children. But when he realises that parenting isn’t solved with treats and jokes, Patrick’s eyes are opened to a new sense of responsibility and the realisation that, sometimes, being vulnerable is the only way to heal from grief. Tender, charming and laugh-out-loud funny, The Guncle is a testament to finding happiness and peace in the most trying of times. ‘Steven Rowley’s The Guncle is a gift. At once funny, charming and heartbreaking, it’s that rare novel that will have you laughing out loud, even through tears. I have yet to meet a person who did not love this book.’ Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Younger Wife ‘A joyous Auntie Mame spritz! A reading pleasure; pour yourself a tall glass and enjoy, preferably poolside. You deserve it!’ Andrew Sean Greer, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Less
