   Summary

   The Gallagher-Milkovich house is many things; loud, chaotic, sometimes dangerous, and also full of a special brand of love. When two kids get caught in the crossfire of their parents' mistakes, the house becomes something else, something it had always kind of been- a symbol of safety. This is the story of a bat-wielding ex-con and his redheaded (also ex-con) EMT husband and their journey into becoming foster parents. Chaos ensues. Fights are had. Happy fuckin' holidays.
