“A surprising and evocative debut.” âGrace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of PORTRAIT OF A THIEF
A tender debut that follows a woman who, after her best friendâs death, loses her faith and quits her job to join the postal service, quickly becoming an âessential workerâ as the city shuts down.
Itâs January 2020, and Miriam is already getting a sense that the world might be ending. First, she learns that her best friend, Esther, has died. Then her faith in Godâin everything, reallyâfollows suit. Her job teaching Scripture at a private Christian school suddenly seems untenable, so she quits. Thankfully, the postal service is hiring.
While Miriam finds comfort in her route, the mail truck can hardly outpace the memory of her lost friend and eroded faith. She finds herself composing letters to Esther that she will never deliver, reflecting on their shared childhoods and deep understanding of each otherâs difficult families.
Mendell Station depicts one womanâs deliverance through the peculiar rhythms of work, and the beauty found in small details and gestures, those quotidian labors of love.
