INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Come along with an adventurous and charismatic independent journalist (perhaps you’re 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.

Critic reviews

“Really great.”
—Ryan Holiday on “The Daily Stoic”
“Think Anthony Bourdain crossed with Michael Moore.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Superb... [Santenello] uses such vivid descriptions and writes with such precision and poetic flair…. You feel like you’re there with him, whether smelling the pine sap and sweetgrass in his childhood backyard in summertime, seeing massive whalebones on the shores of Alaska and the majestic redwoods of California, hearing a cacophony of street music and hissing hydraulics at a Chicano car show in East L.A., or tasting the nutria — an invasive rodent found in Louisiana’s swamps — that a Cajun couple catch and cook up in a stew for supper.”
—The Washington Examiner
“Dynamic, dramatic, surprising and often comfortably amusing.”
—Bookreporter

Interesting and inspiring. Makes you want to get out there and explore! Took a few chapters for Peter to find his narration style - but he soon falls into a groove.

A fascinating journey of adventure and hope

I love Peter’s story telling. I have watched his videos for years and have learned so much about some of the people that he met, that I didn’t know.

I love the overall positivity that underpins his retelling. He makes me want to get in a plane and see all these amazing people and live his stories.

I’ve been recommending this book to people who have and haven’t seen his videos.

Amazing

Having been fans of PS for years, I was excited to see this book on here. for Peter fans much of this is already known from his YouTube channel but for newcomers it is a fascinating tour of the US. Even for us diehards, Peter has added extra bits to keep us enthralled. Excellent work and Expertly read by Peter himself.
