This book is a hand-me-down from Sullivan's Trade-A-Book, a wonderful used book store in Mt Pleasant. Every once in a while, Sean has an overrun of certain books -- maybe there are already a couple of copies on the shelf, or maybe this particular copy has been loved a tad too much and is showing signs of wear. He kindly donates some of these duplicates or discards to BookCrossing. Now, isn't that nice? This book is one such book. I have not read it, but am registering it and passing it along. When you have a chance, stop by Sullivan's Trade-A-Book sometime: 1303 Ben Sawyer Blvd (between Chuck Dawley and Rifle Range at 1303 Ben Sawyer Blvd Suite 3, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464 (843) 884-8611 )

His wife of 20 years, Jackie, a beautiful and successful managing director for a clothing designer, 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 engrossing, 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 is endlessly interested in the details of his characters’ lives. He has written a poignant and moving story about the real choices adults face when they start taking stock of their lives.

Just started reading; a hard book to start, slow on the reading scale.
