It's the 4th of July weekend and Charles Lambert is about to tee
off and, he hopes, shake the doldrums that have been dogging him
all year. But alas, his errant shot knocks out one of the geese
that have taken up residence on the grounds, and sets in motion a
series of events that will, by Labor Day, leave the club members
and staff changed forever. Charles is sent into a tailspin of a
midlife crisis, his wife Madeline is soon abandoned by her tennis
'friends' who don't want to deal with her husband's oddities, and
their militantly vegan daughter Phoebe returns from college
hell-bent on changing the world, one country club at a time. Then
there's Gerard, the uptight club manager trying to rein in both the
geese and his unruly membership, and finally there's Vita, the club
chef, who regards every plate of food like a work of art.

When everything around you is sinking, sometimes it takes desperate
measures to stay afloat. When Duncan Leland looks down at the
garbage-strewn beach beneath his office window, he sees the words
God Help Us scrawled in the sand. While it seems a fitting
message-not only is Duncan's business underwater, but his marriage
is drowning as well-he goes down to the beach to erase it. Once
there, he helps a seagull being strangled by a plastic six-pack
holder-the only creature in worse shape than he is at the moment.
Duncan rescues the seagull, not realizing that he's being filmed by
a group of conceptual artists and that the footage will soon go
viral, turning both him and the gull into minor celebrities. And
when an unsavory yet very convincing local, Osbert Marpol, talks
him into a not-quite-legitimate loan arrangement, Duncan can't help
but agree in a last-ditch attempt to save the jobs of his
employees. For a while, it seems as if things are finally looking
up for Duncan-yet between his phone-sex-entrepreneur
ex-girlfriend's very public flirtations and the ever-mysterious
terms of his new loan, Duncan realizes that there's no such thing
as strings-free salvation-and that it's only a matter of time
before the tide rises ominously around him again. A wry tale of
financial desperation, conceptual art, insanity, infertility,
seagulls, marital crisis, jellyfish, organized crime, and the
plight of a plastic-filled ocean, JoeAnn Hart's novel takes a
smart, satirical look at family, the environment, and life in a
hardscrabble seaside town in Maine.
