Benjamin Ridge, a novel inspired by true events, challenges the reader to ponder life's three most important questions. Do you live? Do you love? Do you matter? College student, Brian Wilson, receives a thesis assignment to write on the life of any person he barely knows, and to answer those three questions.
While walking home from campus, he happens upon a neighbor collapsed on a house porch. Benjamin Ridge, a man Brian had seen most days while returning from college might provide an ideal subject, should he live long enough.
Over the course of nine days, Brian learns of Benjamin's life; a tragic and heartwarming tale of his love for, and subsequent loss of his wife and children. With a strong heart and unwavering dedication, Benjamin had once vowed to reunite the family despite overwhelming odds.
No matter how you answer the three questions, you won't soon forget Benjamin Ridge.
