Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart.

As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.

"The Road Less Travelled" is a unique blend of psychology and spirituality; it is food for the soul and the heart. As a counsellor, I have recommended this book to clients, especially to those with addiction problems, and received very positive feedback. One comes to terms with the realization that it is not how many years we spend on this Earth that is important, it is what we do with the little time we have here that truly matters. Dream a little, laugh a lot; cry a little, love a lot. Accept life's challenges and obstacles and CHOOSE to be happy, anyway. If you think life has dealt you a bad deal, and perhaps it has, just look around and you will find others with far greater challenges than you ever imagined. There is nothing quite so sad as one who has lost hope, or has set no personal goals or expectations. This book gives the reader a fresh insight and courage into setting goals, accepting what we cannot change and finding the courage to change what we can. One of the best ways we can overcome our own
