PG-13
The Apron and the Pen is a gentle, emotionally resonant story centering on grief, healing, reconnection, and queer love between mature men. While there is no explicit sexual content or graphic violence, the book contains SCB, SCT, and ST material. There is no use of explicit language, no depictions of drug or alcohol abuse (though a few casual mentions of wine and tea exist), and no graphic or moderate violence.
