Your Fellow Americans

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Come along with an adventurous and charismatic independent journalist (perhaps youre one of his four million subscribers on YouTube) on a journey through some of the very best of America, reminding us of all the reasons we’ve got to love this place and one another.

After years spent traveling through eighty-five countries and living abroad, Peter Santenello realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard. And so, with a camera in hand and an open mind, he began visiting communities across the country, places that most of the media overlooks or misrepresents, from tiny towns in Appalachia to the streets of East LA to the backwaters of the Louisiana bayou.

What began as curiosity became—one story at a time—an intimate, revealing portrait of America today.

From road trips and chance encounters to dinners shared in locals’ homes, Your Fellow Americans captures what makes this country so dynamic, so resilient, and, most of all, so very human. Because what Peter discovered on his travels wasn’t a nation torn in two. He found something more complex and more powerful: People who want to be seen, who are willing to listen, and who still believe we’re more alike than we are different.

With humor, exuberance, and reverence for the human spirit, Your Fellow Americans is a celebration of the United States that exists far beyond the headlines—and an invitation to sit down, open up, and rediscover the soul of this place that we call home.
