Sliding Down the Pohutukawa Root

Amiri is nervous enough about taking Graeme and his niece and nephew to his dad's place out in the country. He gets along with his dad, but he's not sure he wants to subject his lover and their fragile new kids to how he grew up. They go from the frying pan to the fire when they arrive in the country with the kids, the dog and a chicken, only to find Graeme's family there as well. Between fighting with Graeme, trying to make his nephew understand how much he's loved, and his big, boisterous family, Amiri thinks he might just have a breakdown. Can he survive the trip back to his roots, or will Christmas be a disaster?
