Finished: Waypoints: My Scottish Journey (Heughan) A touching memoir written by actor, Sam Heughan, who opens up about his childhood, and then, the long road to becoming a successful actor. The book alternates between personal chapters about his early life and the current journey he is physically tackling as he dictates notes to himself that will become this book. The journey...the 96 mile West Highland Way a challenging walking trail that leads from Milngavie, Scotland to Fort William, which sits hear the highest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis. At the end of the five day, 96 mile trek, exhausted, but determined, Sam climbs Ben Nevis. The entire feat is quite impressive, but more impressive is the heartfelt rendering of Sam's personal journey from his father leaving the family when he was 18 months old, to his mother successfully raising two sons on her own, to the struggles of becoming a working actor, to finally realizing the success of recent years. The writing is lovely and humorous and serious and entertaining. Loved it!
