I paid $23.25 to mail a book—Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke—to my niece Emma, who is spending two years in Africa with the Peace Corps.
It arrived 5-1/2 weeks later. Happy reading, Emma!
It’s a long way to Africa. Thanks to WhatsApp, however, I’ve seen photos of Emma chopping wood for a “traditional food day” and doing her laundry by hand for the first time. Amazing!
