About Chestnut Lane
Nan and Colin, children of immigrants growing up in Manhattan’s Washington Heights, meet at a New Year’s Eve party in the 1950s and fall hard for each other. Colin, a rising young, handsome police officer haunted by family demons, and Nan, a stunning, spirited but weighed down by expectation, begin a life full of life hope and passion.

At seven, a single moment changed everything…
a drunk driver’s mistake left me paralyzed, forcing me to use a wheelchair.
Each summer after, I returned to a New York City hospital for a week of tests, confined to the same room with strangers whose lives could not have been more different from mine. Yet within those walls, something extraordinary happened. Pain and vulnerability stripped away our divisions, leaving only shared humanity. We became a brief, intense family…bound not by circumstance, but by compassion. And as quickly as those bonds formed, they vanished when we returned to the world beyond the hospital doors.
At seventeen, I spent one final week there, with three roommates who taught me about love, loss, and what it means to truly grow up. PATRICK is born from those seven days that changed me forever.
