Notes From Your Bookseller
At fifty, Steve Grant took up a job as a mail carrier. Soon, he carried a lot more than mail. By sharing stories with strangers and connecting neighbors with loved ones, Steve learns the power of community in this charming memoir.
An uproarious and “utterly charming” (The Washington Post) memoir by a mailman in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, who found that working for the post office saved his life, taught him who he was, gave him purpose, and educated him deeply about a country he loves but had lost touch with.
Steve Grant was laid off in March of 2020. He was fifty and had cancer, so he needed health insurance, fast. Which is how he found himself a rural letter carrier in Appalachia, back in his old hometown.
