We look forward to seeing you then!About Who Needs Friends:"You don't really have any friends, do you, Dad?"A seemingly innocuous, if direct, question from Andrew McCarthy's son left him reeling. McCarthy did have friends, but like so many other men, the necessities of modern adult life had forced his friendships to the background. At one point his friends had been instrumental in broadening his horizons, bolstering his courage, providing safe harbor. Now, McCarthy found himself questioning what had happened to those friendships, whether he needed them, what he valued, and what he had to offer. A simple question had become a moment that demanded a reckoning.Who Needs Friends charts McCarthy's journey over nearly ten thousand miles behind the wheel, following him on often-unexpected travels through Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, the Chihuahuan Desert, the Rocky Mountains with one driving purpose: to reconnect. Along the way he talks to countless men about their male friendships, from cowboys and blues musicians to preachers and rootless teens. What began as a simple desire to catch up with a few friends turned into a deep exploration of the challenges and rewards that men experience in forming bonds with each other.In McCarthy's own words, "It turns out that guys have a difficult time with friendship." But that's not the way it needs to be.About Andrew McCarthy:Andrew McCarthy is the author of four books, Walking with Sam: A Father, A Son, and Five Hundred Miles Across Spain; Brat: An ‘80s Story; Just Fly Away; and The Longest Way Home - all New York Times best sellers.
