Goin' Postal & The
Creek - Two Books in One
Rhoda D'Ettore is a 15
year veteran of the US Postal Service, and began writing down the crazy things
that the public never sees. Things such as human heads in the mail, alligators
loose in the building, and the relationships that employees have with each
other and management. She documented this for nostalgia, but when her
co-workers read it, they laughed so hard and encouraged her to get
published. Goin' Postal is sure to keep you laughing, without malice
toward the USPS or management.
This was originally an
ebook, but when she decided to publish a paperback, the author combined it with
another story, The Creek: Where Stories of the Past Come Alive. This story has
three different stories, with a fourth that ties all of the previous together.
The Creek opens during
the Revolutionary War outside of Philadelphia. Weary soldiers row along a
waterway until they find a secluded area with a farm house, inhabited by a
young woman whose father is fighting in the war. The Lieutenant soon
falls madly in love, but must try to win the war, save his men, and get the
girl.
The second part of The
Creek takes place in 1918, and a part of the farm was sold. People from
Philadelphia were fleeing the city due to the Influenza Pandemic, and they
built summer cottages along the creek. One family owns a brewery and struggles
with the pandemic, Prohibition, and the Great Depression.
The third part takes
place along the same creek front in 1966 when a teenage boy comes home from
school and tells his parents he is joining the US Army. His family is divided
on his decision, and the 1960s & 1970s erupt into a chaos of protests, war,
assassinations, and more. This family must do what it can to survive.
The final section of the
book turns into a first person point of view. It is 1991, and the
children of the neighborhood begin seeing and hearing the people of the past.
This book is available
in paperback, Kindle, and will soon be on audiobook.
