You Can Lead a Horse to Water (But You Can't Make It Scuba Dive‪)‬

A struggling family-man’s tale with satirical wit “straight out of Catch-22 and an unsung genius who might have wandered in from A Confederacy of Dunces” (Ben East, author of Sea Never Dry).

On the day of his firing, Sam Bennett packs his things, smokes a joint, then leaves a pressed ham on the glass of O’Conner Advertising.

Thus begins what seems like a downward spiral, until Sam finds himself among a cast of characters who open his eyes to a world of live streaming, skinny dipping, and grass brownies. While he still fights the occasional panic attack and drags his son-in-law out of Lake Michigan, Sam’s learning that a margarita, sombrero, and a conga line can turn even a quiet Chicago suburb into a hedonistic free-for-all.

“What have you learned from this, Sam?” Dr. Krupsky asks, sitting naked in the pool with a cigar.
​“I should dance,” Sam replies.
