Neil Gordon's life is about to change. Determined to embrace meaning in life and understand human relevance, Neil-an engineer, pilot, and scientist-joins in lively debates with Professor Gregg and inquistive minds, only to find himself confused and without clear direction.

Set against the panorama of the Pacific Nortwest, One Step To Paradise traces Neil's transformation as he wrestles with a deeper understanding of his beliefs and his place in the world while he grows from the joy, passion, service, and tragedy of his closest friend.

Surprised by his own emotions along his winding journey, Neil discovers love may come unexpectedly and is not to be taken lightly.
