Andrew McCarthy-known for years as an actor in such iconic movies as Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire, Less Than Zero, and Weekend At Bernie's, and more recently as a widely published and lauded travel writer-explores the tumultuous, complicated, and circuitous route he's traveled to finally settle down with one woman, whom he married last August. Telling this story through the lens of a series of seven exotic trips he's recently taken all over the world (Patagonia, the Amazon, Costa Rica, Baltimore, Vienna, Kilimanjaro, Galway), he'll write about his wanderlust-and other lusts-and connect his obsession with travel with his phobia of commitment. The story will culminate with one of the most momentous-and terrifying-days of his life: his wedding day.
