Theodore Copeland has created a fabulous life in the desert oasis of Palm Springs, where he shares a fabulous pink mid-century home with three fabulous friends: Barry, a former actor still clinging to the memory of the dream role that killed his career; Ron, an uprooted Christian with a big heart but no one to give it to; and Sid, who, after coming out late in life, has never found love. Teddy is the caustic, unspoken leader of “The Golden Gays,” the foursome’s monthly drag tribute to “The Golden Girls.” But the harmony of their desert enclave becomes a carousel of emotional baggage when Teddy’s estranged sister, Trudy, shows up on their doorstep, her dramatic teenage granddaughter in tow. While Teddy keeps Trudy at arm’s length, she manages to wheedle her way into the lives of the Golden Gays, until the real reason for her visit is revealed.

Together, during their own magic season, they'll move toward forgiveness, reconciliation and peace. 

Critically acclaimed memoirist Wade Rouse has gathered some of America's best known humorists --- authors, comedians and actors --- to offer biting commentary on what it means to share a life, and a heart with a dog.
