SUMMARY:An Evening with Andrew McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome author and actor Andrew McCarthy back to Winnetka. Mr. McCarthy will be discussing and signing copies of his new book\, Walking with Sam: A Father\, a Son\, and Five Hundred Miles Across Spain\, an intimate\, funny\, and poignant travel memoir following the New York Times bestselling author as he walks the Camino de Santiago with his son Sam. He'll be on stage in conversation with Emmy Award winning American television journalist\, NYT best-selling author\, filmmaker and public speaker\, Mike Leonard!\n\n \n\nThis program is being held at the lovely Skokie School Auditorium\, 520 Glendale Ave Winnetka\, IL 60093. Tickets are available on our website. Click here to purchase yours!  All tickets are general admission\, and the price includes a copy of Walking with Sam.  Mr. McCarthy will be happy to sign your book.\n\n \n\nMore About the Book: When Andrew McCarthy's eldest son began to take his first steps into adulthood\, McCarthy found himself wishing time would slow down. Looking to create a more meaningful connection with Sam before he fled the nest\, as well as recreate his own life-altering journey decades before\, McCarthy decided the two of them should set out on a trek like few others: 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago.\n\n \n\nOver the course of the journey\, the pair traversed an unforgiving landscape\, having more honest conversations in five weeks than they'd had in the preceding two decades. Discussions of divorce\, the trauma of school\, McCarthy's difficult relationship with his own father\, fame\, and Flaming Hot Cheetos threatened to either derail their relationship or cement it. Walking With Sam captures this intimate\, candid and hopeful expedition as the father son duo travel across the country and towards one another.\n\n \n\nMore About the Author: Andrew McCarthy is the author of three books\, Brat: An '80s Story\, Just Fly Away\, and The Longest Way Home -- all New York Times best sellers. He is an award winning travel writer and served for a dozen years as an editor-at-larger at National Geographic Traveler magazine. Best known as an actor for the past four decades\, Andrew has appeared in such iconic films as Pretty in Pink and Less Than Zero. He lives in New York.
