A Risk Worth Taking

A poignant, midlife family drama from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Long Way Home, a "masterful storyteller" (Debbie Macomber). After the dot-com bubble burst, Dan Porter is laid off from his job and must decide what is truly important. His wife of twenty years, Jackie, a beautiful and successful managing director at a clothing designer shop, no longer connects with him. His teenagers, Josh, Nina, and Millie, are distant and confusing. Jackie is tempted by the attentions of a younger man at her office, and thanks to an opportunity suggested by a magazine article, Dan finds himself contemplating a drastic change in his life. A Risk Worth Taking is an insightful, thought-provoking novel of a man who has to discover what he really values in his work, marriage, and life. Robin Pilcher writes fluidly and well, and he is unerringly adept at capturing the details of his characters' lives. He has written an engrossing story about the real choices many adults face when they start taking stock of their lives. "Fans of acclaimed novelist Rosamunde Pilcher will queue up to read A Risk Worth Taking, a new novel by her talented son Robin. Robin Pilcher not only writes with his mother's style and fluency, but also writes about the same type of ordinary people." —Roanoke Times "Pilcher writes with every bit as much insight and meticulous detail as his mother, celebrated novelist Rosamunde Pilcher." —Library Journal "Pilcher offers 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." —Booklist
