This book is set in the not too distant past when being gay meant you probably had AIDS, and AIDS was a real death sentence and this remains an undercurrent throughout the whole novel. Tom adores his niece and nephew and upon the death of his sister and husband learns he is appointed their guardian. There is strong resistance in his family and the novel takes you through his journey of trying to fight those who believe his lifestyle would not be ideal to raise children. The novel is a good read, though not necessarily enjoyable because it brings up the painful stereotypes that plagued the gay community in the 80s and early 90s and still affects them today. It is also difficult to see where reality is affected by these stereotypes in the gay community. But the book is definitely worth the journey into a a unique situation at a unique time in our recent history. The ending is a little too neatly tied, but it works on many levels.
