Myrtle is having a hard time making friends at her new school, but when Myrtle’s Uncle Vince arrives in town, she finally feels like she has someone who understands her and with whom she can really be herself. Their friendship becomes the closest and most important relationship in Myrtle’s life but, sometimes, Vince’s behaviour confuses her – and even causes the other kids at school to make fun of her. So, when her Uncle Vince stops coming to see her, Myrtle must learn how to deal with and accept his lifelong struggle with mental illness.

Written in a style so that youth can understand and relate, People Like Vince is a surprisingly light-hearted, sensitive, and compassionate look at a serious subject that affects us all.
