Blurb:
Golf,
love, life—Jack Weatherlow is more than familiar with all three. Is life a
series of coincidences or is it linked by a greater thread? Returning from the
brink of destruction, Jack lets his participation in recovery, his work at the
hotel, and his close relationship with his wife, Samantha, guide him through
some of life's most important questions and lessons. What do we do when
opportunity knocks at our door? Is it fate that brings us together with those
we love most? What constitutes a family and what obligations do we have to
those around us? Through his relationships and experiences on and off the
green, Jack discovers many of life's lucky chances.
Excerpt:
I often wondered about the finer
details which shaped my mother’s journey in life. I imagine that she began her
role as a parent as one person, possibly a reluctant person, but still more
whole than not and rightly directed for the most part. At some point in time, I
presume that she met with an irresolvable division in her conception of that
original role or her identity in general. I suspect that the horrific accident
that killed my dad’s parents inspired the initial separation. However, I wonder
if the imports of that tragedy were simply the last drops of a sinister reagent
which had long been burning away the reigns that held her in the middle of the
road.
Regardless of the cause, my
mother salved her injuries with an anesthetic rather than an antiseptic. She chose
relief rather than cure. I don’t suppose that she ever realized there was a
difference. Nevertheless, the relief became the food or fuel which energized
and promoted the process of her separation. She grew ever closer and more
identified with her torment, and she grew evermore distant from her peace. I
watched the transformation occur across my young life, such that I found myself
more often despised and attacked by the tortured and tormented monster of
trauma and tragedy, and less and less nurtured or treasured by the
compassionate and caring mother of my imagination.

Author Bio and Links:
Summer is in full swing - folks
are hitting the golf course by day, and reflecting on life as the sunsets go

businessman, golfer and public speaker, R.C. Welch.

and alcoholic in recovery, Jack returns from the brink of destruction, and
through his recovery, work, and relationship with his wife, Samantha, he
attempts to find the answers to some of life’s most important questions. What
do we do when opportunity knocks at our door? Is it fate that brings us
together with those we love most? What constitutes a family and what
obligations do we have to those around us? Through his relationships and
experiences on and off the green, Jack discovers many of life’s lucky chances.
Inspired by his love of golf,
business, and storytelling, Welch wrote Lucky Chance to give readers insight

depth,” added Mindy Kuhn, President of Warren Publishing. “It’s a fantastic,
unique read for anyone who enjoys reading about sports or love, but also for
