Neither Snow Nor Rain

Neither Snow Nor Rain is a powerful, firsthand journey through the heart of one of America's most enduring institutions-the United States Postal Service. Told with raw honesty and emotional depth, this memoir by career letter carrier Matthew DePesa reveals the untold realities of life on the route, from the quiet kindness of everyday moments to the relentless grind of peak season and the weight of public service in every kind of weather.

Through fifty vivid chapters, DePesa invites readers behind the mailbox into a world of early mornings, stormy deliveries, loyal customers, and personal growth forged one letter at a time. It is a tribute to community, dignity, and the people who show up-rain or shine-because their job is more than just delivering mail. It's delivering hope, presence, and purpose.

Whether you've walked the route or simply waited at the mailbox, Neither Snow Nor Rain will move you, surprise you, and stay with you long after the last page.
