A Risk Worth Taking
TheLadyOnTheHill avatar reviewed on + 75 more book reviews


A charming story about life in the new millennium and one man's pursuit of happiness, a tale that will appeal to both men and women.

Dan Porter had it all: a big house in suburban London, a beautiful wife, three children in private school, and a high paying job. But then, it all collapsed like a house of cards. Now Dan stays home while his angry wife pursues a career and his marriage falters. Returning to his old profession could mend the rift, but Dan needs to do something else, something more...
Then, Dan hears about a company for sale in northern Scotland, and the temptation is too great to resist. With his son Josh and two dogs in tow, he lands in a primitive cottage above a frigid loch. As he takes stock of his past, he discovers a community who desperately needs his help, a new chance for the future, a risk that requires a leap of faith...and an astonishing love.
