Sister Ray

A love story he never saw coming – and doesn’t know how to keep.

Ray has never been interested in fitting in.

A former musician whose one hit song made him briefly famous, Ray now spends his nights at the Brewery – a strange, chaotic refuge of artists, misfits, musicians, and beautiful disasters – and his days doing whatever he wants, however he wants. Dresses, old records, sharp opinions, questionable company: Ray has never apologized for being himself.

Then Ray’s nephew Jackson needs him.

Jackson is brilliant, funny, and navigating a world that requires more patience and care than Ray knows how to give. Determined to keep his promise to his nephew, Ray hires Theresa Compton, a frumpy caretaker from North Carolina who arrives as a complete stranger to both of them – expecting a job, not a house full of contradictions.

Theresa sees the chaos. She sees the noise. She sees the impossible-to-ignore Sister Ray.

But she also begins to see the man underneath.

As the three of them build an unexpected life together, Ray, Theresa, and Jackson discover that family is not always something you are born into. Sometimes it is something you create – with all the mess, laughter, heartbreak, and wonder that comes with it.

Sister Ray is an unconventional love story about identity, chosen family, and the strange people who make us feel at home.
