It's never too late for the adventure of a lifetime, even if you can't remember why you started.
The Unforgettable Mailman is a heartwarming story about intergenerational friendship and the power of human connection, perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman and Virginia Evans' The Correspondent. 1966, Chicago. Backlogged with millions of undelivered letters, the post office announces a temporary closure. But eighty-one-year-old Henry Walton can't stand idly by when there's mail waiting to be delivered. He believes letters are what keep people connected, and he's not about to let them get lost in the chaos. Plus, connection keeps the mind sharp--according to a note someone's pinned up in his kitchen. While the post office scrambles to get things under control, Henry races against time and forgetfulness. Taking it upon himself to deliver the mail, he discovers hatred and tragedy, triumph and joy in the letters he carries and the people he meets along the way. Inspired by true events, this delightful story will linger with readers long after they turn the last page--and might just inspire someone to write a letter, the old-fashioned way.Author Biography
