“A soulful and searching book. Vibrant and elegant…McCarthy’s prose
shines with intelligence and intimacy. One feels pulled along…the book
gaining momentum and meaning page by page” (Cheryl Strayed, The New York Times Book Review).
With
absorbing honesty and an irrepressible taste for adventure,
award-winning travel writer and actor Andrew McCarthy takes us on a
deeply personal journey played out amid some of the world’s most
evocative locales. Unable to commit to his fiancée of nearly four
years—and with no clear understanding of what’s holding him
back—McCarthy finds himself at a crossroads, plagued by doubts that have
clung to him for a lifetime. Though he ventures from the treacherous
slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro to an Amazonian riverboat and the dense Costa
Rican rain forests, McCarthy’s real journey is one of the spirit.
Disarmingly likable, McCarthy isn’t afraid to bare his soul on the page,
and what emerges is an intimate memoir of self-discovery and an
unforgettable love song to the woman who would be his wife.
