Unable to commit to his fiancée of nearly four years-and with no clear understanding of whats 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, McCarthys real journey is one of the spirit. Disarmingly likable, McCarthy isnt 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.
