What happens to siblings when one turns out to be gay? Sometimes, nothing at all. Sometimes, extraordinary events ensue.

Book 1 of Michael Scherperel's Fraternal series contains stories “from humor to romance”, as the volume is subtitled. In it, the reader will find a wedding toast with special meaning, a caregiver who surprises himself with the services he offers, an elderly man who at the last possible moment of his life finds what he always wanted, brothers sharing living quarters who have different ideas of what “promiscuous” means, a man who learns through his brother that “intellectually challenged” does not mean asexual, brother and sister psychiatrists enmeshed in a strangely assorted bunch of characters with wildly assorted ideas of love, and more.
