As he walks an emotional tightrope between the past and the present, can a serendipitous global adventure become a saving grace, heal the ancestral soul and bring justice to his family and their forgotten Polish comrades?

In their medical practices, physicians T. Barry and Arlene Levine and Sammie Justesen began seeing young men and women who suffered from PTSD, and were also plagued by severe, advanced, and chronic diseases. Despite their young ages and physical training, many PTSD-afflicted veterans and first responders presented with accelerated aging and premature mortality. The authors realized that short-term stress can turn into full blown physical illness and become a living nightmare for the afflicted and their families. Yet, medical care is often fragmented because healthcare providers tend to treat PTSD as a purely psychiatric illness instead of treating the whole patient. Written from a mind-body perspective, this book explains PTSD and its treatment in a way both practitioners and patients will understand. While creating a bridge between specialties, the authors show why and how to address the neuropsychiatric underpinnings of PTSD, along with the serious psychosomatic dimensions of this disorder.

A flatlander from southern Indiana, Walter Glover, while in his 50s, became fascinated by elite climbers who scaled the world’s highest mountains. One day he heard a voice say, “You know, you could do that.” After months of training, an unlikely odyssey began for this senior citizen, journalist, and hospital pastoral care chaplain. He undertook to climb the Seven Summits while raising money to fight America’s epidemic pediatric health issue—youth obesity. Mount Everest and Mount Kilimanjaro is filled with descriptions of the stark beauty, weather, and elements surrounding the world’s most famous mountains—and the creative forces that produced them. Vivid accounts of altitude sickness and a brush with cerebral edema add to the suspense. As Glover chronicles his interactions with guides and fellow climbers, we meet fascinating people, including Godlisten, the extraordinary guide on Mt. Kilimanjaro featured on the book cover with the author. Glover’s treks raised more than $130,000 for programs to combat youth obesity. The Seven Mountain Story series and Walter’s quest will energize people of all ages to become more active, increase their capacity to dream, and then train to realize those dreams.
