Synopsis
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.

From the Back Cover
Praise for Starting Over
"Pilcher writes with an easy accessibility to his characters' depths and has an excellent sense of the pace of his story. It's easy to feel you know these people and to grasp the complexities of their relationships. All told, it's a worthy novel."
---Houston Chronicle
"[Starting Over] offers light, entertaining reading and will appeal to those who like to escape but not be pandered to by overtly predictable situations.... Pilcher subtly pulls us into his charming tale."
---Chattanooga Times Free Press
"[Pilcher] encourages us with the thought that even in the worst of times there is the hope of starting over."
---Anniston Star
"This is a warmly written, down-to-earth novel about human relationships."
---Deseret News
Praise for An Ocean Apart
"Warm and readable."
---Chicago Sun Times
"With his Scottish sensibility and captivating wordplay, Pilcher crafts a fine and fulfilling novel."
---Booklist
"Pilcher...writes of family and friends, love and death, grief and recovery with every bit as much insight and meticulous detail as his mother, celebrated novelist Rosamunde Pilcher.... Highly recommended."
---Library Journal
