Spanning nearly 50 years of family history, the book chronicles the remarkable lives of two creative talents, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. It's a story of father and son set against the backdrop of Hollywood; this narrative is organized around their physical and spiritual journey along the Camino de Santiago, Spain, the thousand-year-old pilgrimage path which traverses Galicia. It is the area from which Sheen's father emigrated to the U.S. and to which Estevez's own son has returned. Along the Way will focus not just on the lives these men have chosen as artists, but also (and most importantly) on the one they have lived together. It is a story of family bonds and artistic advances and setbacks; of good choices and hard choices; of opportunities lost and opportunities found. Sheen and Estevez will share what they have experienced and learned from each other in their forty eight years as father and son, as fathers of sons, as actors and director, as spiritual seekers, and as concerned citizens of the world. Readers will meet them as real people rather than icons, as two men who have accumulated decades of wisdom and insight they are now ready to share.

This is less a Hollywood story than it is a recounting of an extremely anguished young father with alcohol addiction whose eldest son grew up having to raise his father in very many ways. They grew up together and used their talents to create wonderful pieces of theater, film and television. As a memoir, both Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez reveal profound weaknesses and strengths and the way they depended on each other to find their way through troubled times. The love they always had has developed into a true mutual admiration society. Emilio wrote and directed one of his father's finest films, The Way. The making of that film instigated the writing of this book. Both were stories of self-discovery and finding a contentment in life that is now enviable. This is an excellent look into a relationship based on lifelong love that had to grow individually in order to grow together.
