About the Book:
After a divorce and the death of his father, Casey Sweet is in a bad way. He’s drinking most of a bottle of whiskey every night, and his panic attacks at work have landed him on an involuntary mental health sabbatical for the summer.

Cleaning out his dad’s possessions, he stumbles upon a bag of rare vintage golf clubs–a set the old man protected like gold. Soon, Casey is golfing every day, drinking less, and–with the help of his bossy therapist–keeping his anxieties at bay. At the local course, where his father was a respected member, Casey forges new bonds with an eclectic band of regulars. The most intriguing member of Twin Peaks is twenty-two-year-old Josh Parker, a feral golf prodigy with dreams of qualifying for the PGA Tour and an immaculately restored 1987 Land Cruiser–a truck Casey recalls from a short-lived college romance with a woman named Damaris, who happens to be Josh’s mom.

Increasingly convinced that he has found a son he never knew, Casey embeds himself deeper into Josh’s life and attempts to rekindle things with Damaris. But fatherhood is more complicated than golf. What role is Casey supposed to play after stumbling into their lives? As they navigate one transformative summer, Casey, Damaris, and Josh must examine past decisions and present fears, leaning on each other to survive an eighteen-hole showdown as uplifting as it is unforgettable.
