Review: After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian Rating: 4.5 stars Buy Links: Amazon | iBooks | Amazon UK Length: Novel 1968 New York City Patrick isn't surprised when Mrs. Kaplan shows up at Dooryard Books with another of her "strays." After all, ten years ago Patrick was one of those strays himself, and Mrs. Kaplan helped him at a time he desperately needed it. Now, he has a happy life running her second-hand bookstore in a neighborhood where folks don't look quite as closely at a gay man as they do elsewhere. https://joyfullyjay.com/2025/12/review-after-hours-at-dooryard-books-by-cat-sebastian/
