Mexican-American brothers Pedro and Daniel grow up in 1970s Ohio. Both gay and neurodivergent, the duo struggle to find their places in school and at home. Together, the brothers endure an abusive mother, come out, find love, and live through the AIDS epidemic.

PEDRO & DANIEL is a marvelous and moving story that covers heavy yet essential topics. I love the brothers’ relationship and their different approaches to life. While it’s labeled as YA, there are philosophical and medical passages I’m not sure if younger audiences would fully grasp.

With poetic prose and absorbing writing, PEDRO & DANIEL is a beautiful ode to brotherly love inspired by Erebia’s own life.
