A Risk Worth Taking by Robin Pilcher

A Risk Worth Taking by Robin Pilcher. I needed something somewhat light after the Steinbeck tome. This is about Dan, an Englishman recently unemployed after the dot.com bubble burst. He is in a 20 year marriage with three kids, trying to find a new direction for his collapsed life while everyone around him waits for him to fail again and again. Finally an opportunity arises for him in Scotland - an opportunity to do something worthy while simultaneously rediscovering his life. He takes his university-drop-out son with him and the two finally find purpose and direction.
I've only read chapter 1 but I always enjoy his novels. I'm sure it won't disappoint.
 
Update:  So I've finished A Risk Worth Taking by Robin Pilcher. Seems I had read this book before. While I was reading the first few chapters, I kept getting little snippets that seemed familiar. Either that or I'm slightly psychic. Anyway, I must have read it several years ago because I didn't remember the major parts of the book and I don't have it in my vast collection so who knows. Regardless, it was a great book (must have been considering I read it in less than two days) - highly recommended for those who need a quick, easy feel-good read.
