The Guncle Abroad

It has been five years since Patrick O’Hara was called on to watch over his niece Maisie and nephew Grant after the death of their mother. Patrick now lives in NYC, trying to revive his acting career and newly single after ending things with Emory. But as his brother prepares to remarry Livia, an Italian noble, Patrick is again asked to take care of Maisie and Grant as they make their way through Europe. Threatened by a potential new gay aunt for the kids and a disastrous rehearsal dinner, Patrick must save the day. Will everyone find the happy ending they deserve? The second “Guncle” novel is a hilarious and heartwarming romp through Europe. Patrick is back with his many quirks, references to pop culture, and rules for living. Rowley narrates his own work, landing the punch lines perfectly and capturing the quiet moments with tenderness. For all its lighthearted moments, the novel captures the importance of family, friendship, and moving forward while still recognizing the lessons of the past.
