Stay the Course

Ennis Sawtell returns as a father, golf course superintendent, and dutiful husband in a multi-racial household in rural western America during the Covid pandemic of the early 2020s. Like your average dad, he’s trying to make sense of things while improving everything for the beings he cares most about. After a traumatic experience for his twin daughters at their middle school, he and his family make a big decision to change things up and relish the uncertainty of homelessness. Their adventure tests each of their resolves in different ways, and the places they go and things they see – translated by Ennis’s sensitive voice and suffused with the mystery of memory – make this story something any reader will bring to his or her own life with a new outlook.
