Growing up with Spock as a father, Adam Nimoy discovered early, was not easy.

At 67, Nimoy’s new memoir, “The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy” (Chicago Review Press), examines the gulf between the public image of the “Star Trek” icon and the reality of a distant father.

Also stressed is the importance of the 12-step program that helped father and son reconcile, heal and bond. Nimoy makes an appearance June 30 at Boston’s West End Museum, the neighborhood in which his father grew up.

“This is really the story of the journey of my father and myself, where I started to come around and reconcile with my dad. That’s the focus,” he said in a phone interview from his LA home.
