Publisher Description
Journey deep into the Scottish Highlands in the first memoir by #1 New York Times bestselling author and star of Outlander, Sam Heughan—exploring his life and reflecting on the waypoints that define him
"I had to believe, because frankly, I had come so far there could be no turning back."
In this intimate journey of self-discovery, Sam sets out along Scotland's rugged ninety-six-mile West Highland Way to map out the moments that shaped his views on dreams and ambition, family, friendship, love, and life. The result is a love letter to the wild landscape that means so much to him, full of charming, funny, wise, and searching insights into the world through his eyes.
Waypoints is a deeply personal journey that reveals as much about Sam to himself as it does to his readers.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Hike through the scenic Scottish Highlands with Outlander actor Sam Heughan. In this adventurous memoir, the film and TV star opens up his rucksack—metaphorically speaking—and shares the emotional tools that have helped him thrive during 100-mile treks and in the competitive, often grueling landscape of Hollywood. We appreciated Heughan’s fascinating stories about his childhood in Scotland and his formative years as an actor and the insights he’s gleaned. From boyhood antics in the countryside to performing at high-pressure auditions for characters like Batman and James Bond, Heughan narrates his story with wit and charm. Waypoints is a perfect listen for fans of Scotland, the creative spirit, or, of course, Heughan himself.
