Cruising 4 Comps

A BOOK BY SCOTT A. ASTIN

My Way

A life can look like a collection of exits until you recognize the direction. Madrid, Long Island, Maryland, Miami, Austin, Phoenix, and the sea are not just locations in this memoir. They are climates of identity. Each place asks a different version of the narrator to stand up and introduce himself.

A memoir of roads, rooms, reinvention, grief, and the sea.

Inside the voyage

The book moves through work, music, love, loss, partnership, status, reinvention, and the decision to stop treating motion as the only form of freedom. It is candid about the rooms that welcomed him, the rooms that required a mask, and the people who made staying possible. The deeper story is not rebellion. It is the construction of a life that can hold both independence and commitment.

Back-cover text

A spoken, searching memoir for readers who have changed cities, careers, relationships, or definitions of home. It is about finding your way without pretending the earlier roads were mistakes.
