The Luccetti clan descends upon the hospital after the birth of the first grandchild. The baby was early so only 17 relatives could make it and the rest are en route from Italy. Doc has his work cut out for him. Doc and Frankie's relationship moves along at a realistic pace. The narrative is extremely visual and dialog is tight and often very funny.
Daddy includes an atypical secondary romance.
Doc, who was raised by an aunt after his parents died, spends time courting the entire Luccetti family while pleading his case to Frankie. Daddy is fun, like lemon Italian ice on a hot day. It's cool, sweet, a bit tart, but refreshing.
