"The Gentlemen's Sport and Social Club" is a metaphysical tale of trust, belief, and everlasting love. Disillusioned with the corporate rat race and ready for retirement, John carves out a new life in a cabin in the mountains. Out for a morning walk, John meets articulate and enigmatic Evangeline and is immediately drawn to her intelligence, poise, and beauty.
When Evangeline asks him to join her club, his cynicism surfaces: has her friendship simply been a setup? She tells him, "It's called The Gentlemen's Sport and Social Club, and it has a very elite membership." John is both entranced and apprehensive. "Is happiness settling for what one has; or, is it found in risking what one has settled for?" The answer to this question takes John on a mystic journey in search of beauty, love, and truth in the ever elusive "now."
With "The Gentlemen's Sport and Social Club," author Joe Petterle has crafted a story that is part metaphysical adventure and part esoteric romance.
