Edward Funk

Uncle Wonderful Edward Funk

"Uncle Wonderful" is a book of three love stories, one unconventional and two romantic. The unconventional love story, and keep in mind this is in no way physical, is between a nephew and his gay uncle. The romantic love stories are between the nephew and his wife, and the uncle and a new love. Twenty-nine -year old Jake Ford and his wife Maddy have just moved to Southern California where Jake reconnects with his Uncle Frank. Frank's a writer who Jake hasn't seen in twenty three years. Jake and Maddy are crazy in love with each other and their sex life has always been hyper satisfying. But is that enough to keep their marriage together when Jake is unwilling to confront his increasingly petrified emotional state? Maddy is hoping Uncle Frank will be able to help. Then there's a new complication when Frank is faced with a crisis of his own. This is a story that unpeels layer after layer of its main characters and if you think you know how it ends, even when you're three fourths the way through, don't be so sure!
