The Longest Way Home

This new book (The Longest Way Home) by actor/director/travel writer Andrew McCarthy discusses the struggles he faced in balancing his need for adventure with settling down — and the travel journalist and editor-at-large for National Geographic Traveler subtitled his book “One Man’s Quest For The Courage To Settle Down.”  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_McCarthy

McCarthy ponders some of the biggest and most frightening questions surrounding intimacy: How does a loner connect? How does a traveler settle down? How do we merge into families without losing ourselves? The answer seems to be that all these things are impossible...and yet somehow we do it anyway. There is much to be learned, and much to be admired, in this elegant, thoughtful story."

-- Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love

"Brave and moving...McCarthy’s keen sense of scene and storytelling ignites his accounts...[t]hreaded with an exemplary vulnerability and propelled by a candid exploration of his own life’s frailties."

-- National Geographic
