"A funny, achingly sad, sneakily wise story of family and what happens when three men-all of whom are completely ill-suited for fatherhood-take charge of a toddler following his mother's sudden death.

When the unthinkable happens, Joel finds himself at the center of a strange constellation of men-Tâeo, Vic, Ben-none of whom is fully equipped to look after him, but whose strange, tentative attempts at love might just be enough to offer him a new place to call home"--
