Description
A love letter written in blisters and jungle mud.
Of course I wanted to save her. When you love someone like that, you think they're carved from something eternal -- you think they'll live forever.
So how did I end up in a jungle -- hollowed by loneliness, chasing a cure that never existed?
Love Letter in a Hammock is a memoir of love, loss, ultrarunning, and extraordinary adventure. What began as one man's attempt to outrun grief became an insane and unforgettable coast-to-coast crossing of the Volcanic Panamanian jungle -- his last, desperate way of loving her when saving her was impossible.
Darkly funny and unflinchingly honest, David Shiels turns blisters, breakdowns, and the brutal beauty of endurance into love's final act.
This is a running books memoir, but not the kind most people expect. David never set out to become a memoir runner; he started running because grief wouldn't let him stand still, because love, sometimes, has to be carried mile after mile. What began as survival turned into an ultramarathon runner memoir -- a story of heartbreak, endurance, and the brutal kindness of refusing to stop when every part of you wants to.
Author's Note:
Expect grief, profanity, dark humour, and unfiltered truth.
No graphic medical detail, no melodrama -- just love, survival, and what happens when you have to keep moving through the hardest parts of life.
If you love raw memoirs about mental health, extreme adventure, and finding meaning after loss, I'd be grateful to have you along for the journey.
