Fourteen year old June is devastated after the loss of her uncle Finn to AIDS and has no outlet for her grief. Her sixteen year old sister has recently become her worst enemy, it is the late 80s and AIDS is still largely misunderstood and she is a bit "weird" and has no close friends. So it comes as a suprise when the one person she is able to turn to is Finn's longtime partner Toby, whom she did not know existed until the funeral. Because her Mom blames Toby for Finn's death, they must keep their meetings a secret. Eventually a series of circumstances brings their relationship to light. 
 This is a lovely book about finding solace in the most unlikely of places. A very moving read!
