About this book
Patrick, a once-famous sitcom actor, has settled into a carefully controlled Palm Springs life when his brother’s children suddenly come to stay for the summer. His nine-year-old niece and six-year-old nephew are grieving, angry, and wholly unimpressed by Patrick’s celebrity or household rules. Together they improvise rituals, confront family silences, and discover what care can look like when nobody feels qualified to give it. Tender without becoming sentimental, this quick-moving novel mixes sharp comic dialogue with genuine sadness, creating a sunlit, character-led story about chosen responsibilities and healing.
