Boiler Beach is a novel about a fictional beach community on the Canadian shores of Lake Huron. Tommy McTavish is fighting for his life. Against the forces of nature tearing down his century-old cottage. Against a town that won't let him forget an infamous offense. Against an old gang of friends who seem to have become adversaries. Against the alcohol-infused demons that weigh him down. All that keeps him from succumbing to despair are an unlikely discovery about origins of his beach community, a new generation of cottagers with bigger troubles than his, and the slightest chance that he might somehow find love and absolution.
