"An Uphill Climb – Survivor's Guilt and the Inca Trail" touching hearts of readers
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - EntSun -- Author Jim Santos is touching the hearts of readers in his latest book, "An Uphill Climb – Survivor's Guilt and the Inca Trail". Already a successful author in the travel and retirement fields, Mr. Santos in his latest book has turned to a sometimes brutally honest personal account of dealing with two very serious issues; the Survivor's Guilt felt by the surviving spouse of a cancer victim, and the long-term effect of childhood abuse. These events left him unsure of his own worth as a person, and led ultimately to years of depression and weight gain – reaching 320 pounds at one point.
This is not your typical Inca Trail book. There is the story of pain and loss leading up to a new life that should be a happy ending, but instead is tainted by guilt, feelings of unworthiness, and self-destructive behavior.
To tackle these sensitive subjects, the author has divided the book into two sections. The first part moves back and forth in time, weaving together the background story using a journal of the first few months following the death of his first wife, present day reflections on surviving his childhood trauma, and the diary of his attempt to overcome his past by getting in shape to hike the 26-mile Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The second part of the book is the day-by-day struggle of the hike itself.

Despite the difficult themes, the book contains lighter moments and even humor in an emotional journey every bit as filled with ups and downs as the Inca Trail itself, just to get to that first checkpoint at Kilometer 82 in Piskacucho, Perú.
Available on Amazon in both the Kindle format with full color photos and a black and white paperback, reader reviews have been excellent, with comments including "rich and soulful documentation of one man's journey towards healing", "an incredible and inspiring story", and "a guide to help you open your mind, release an inner demon or two, and share tears, laughter, beauty, and the frailty of self-growth."
