The Novel

Tales from the Leaning Lounge

It's been the driest summer anyone can remember, the kind that makes it hard to keep telling yourself everything is fine.​

The Leaning Lounge golf course sits on an old Alberta cattle ranch, with nine scrappy holes built with love for the community around it. Now the ground has been quietly failing, and so have the people.

A marriage coming apart while both people hold everything together for everyone else.

A mother grieving a daughter who left and hasn’t looked back.

One brother’s need to protect has quietly become control.

A woman who's made herself so easy to live with that she's nearly disappeared.

One company built from nothing, and a man with no idea who he is without it.

A daughter so consumed by grief for the Mother she knew, she’s missing the woman in front of her now.

A professional golfer who knows every angle of the game, and is only beginning to see what he's missed at home.

 

​A boy who understands this course better than anyone, still finding his way into the world of kids his own age.

And a man losing his sight, determined to witness it all before the light goes.

People come to the Leaning Lounge for golf, and they stay for reasons they don’t always have words for. The Lounge doesn't offer answers. It just watches where people choose to stand.

Belonging isn’t something anyone hands you. You just keep choosing it.
