Description
"Warm, bighearted and irresistible." Elise Juska, author of Reunion
Johnny Demos knows he must leave behind his close-knit family and their small-town restaurant if he wants to pursue his dream of becoming an actor in New York. With the passing of his Greek-immigrant grandfather, the weight of family responsibility looms heavier than ever.
Just as the future of the restaurant threatens to pull him back, a surprising family connection lands Johnny a dream role opposite his Hollywood idol-his one chance to break into the movies. But a sudden tragedy forces Johnny to confront a life-altering decision-one that will define who he truly is and what he values most.
American Gyro is a modern reimagining of the American Dream, once embodied by Johnny's grandfather, and now left for Johnny to redefine on his own terms.
