In alternating chaptersand in voices that are as eloquent as they are differentthey narrate stories spanning more than 50 years of family history, and reflect on their journeys into two different kinds of faith.At 21, still a struggling actor living hand to mouth, Martin and his wife, Janet, welcomed their firstborn, Emilio, an experience of profound joy for the young couple, who soon had three more children: Ramon, Charlie, and Rene. As Martins career moved from stage to screen, the family moved from New York City to Malibu, while traveling together to film locations around the world, from Mexico for Catch-22 to Colorado for Badlands to the Philippines for the legendary Apocalypse Now shoot.As the firstborn, Emilio had a special relationship with Martin: They often mirrored each others passions and sometimes clashed in their differences. After Martin and Emilio traveled together to India for the movie Gandhi, each felt the beginnings of a spiritual awakening that soon led Martin back to his Catholic roots, and eventually led both men to Spain, from where Martins father had emigrated to the United States.Along the famed Camino de Santiago pilgrimage path, Emilio directed Martin in their acclaimed film, The Way, bringing three generations of Estevez men together in the region of Spain where Martins father was born, and near where Emilios own son had moved to marry and live.With vivid, behind-the-scenes anecdotes of this multitalented fathers and sons work with other notable actors and directors, Along the Way is a striking, stirring, funny storya family saga that listeners will recognize as universal in its rebellions and regrets, aspirations and triumphs. Strikingly candid, searchingly honest, and full of the immediacy and warmth that can only be added by the authors reading their story in their own voices, this heartfelt portrait reveals two strong-minded, admirable men of many important roles, perhaps the greatest of which are as father and son.Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
