Read 2 times. Last read July 19, 2025 to July 23, 2025.

I thoroughly enjoyed McCarthy's memoir of walking the Camino with his 19-year-old son, Sam. Throughout the book, as he walks (and walks, and walks, and each day walks,) 53-year-old McCarthy thinks about his life, especially as a parent. He reflects on his relationship with Sam as they take on this challenge together. Highly recommended for fans of meditative travel memoirs.
