MAILMAN My Wild Ride Delivering the Mail in Appalachia and Finally Finding Home

Author/narrator Stephen Grant goes from a lucrative marketing job to being unemployed with cancer during Covid. Listeners join him as he moves back to Virginia and begins working as a rural mail carrier. He describes his joy at landing a job with health insurance, his in-depth training, the complexities of mail sorting, and various unique co-workers. Once he begins delivering mail, he details his rickety old truck, his remote route, and both delightful and creepy mail recipients. Most memorable are his discovery of his reawakened values and customers who show him a Japanese Samurai sword and an antique rifle. Despite few details about his cancer and how quickly his income diminished, listeners will enjoy his adventures. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
