Your Fellow Americans by Peter Santenello 

Your Fellow Americans: Dispatches from Across the Country We Call Home by Peter Santenello — a warm, revealing journey through the America that exists beyond the headlines.

Come along with the charismatic independent journalist (and creator of a YouTube channel with more than four million subscribers) as he explores some of the most surprising and resilient corners of the United States.

Have you ever swapped stories on a porch with Amish snowbirds in Florida? Searched for reindeer with the Siberian Yupik in Alaska? Been a guest on a houseboat deep in the Louisiana bayou? Peter Santenello hadn’t either — until, after years of traveling through eighty-five countries, he realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard.

From Appalachia to East L.A., the Mississippi Delta to the redwood forests, Santenello sits down with everyday people and lets them tell their own stories. What he finds is not a nation neatly divided, but something more complex and hopeful: communities rooted in identity, underdogs hanging on against the odds, and ordinary Americans who still believe we have more in common than we think.

Told with humor, curiosity, and genuine respect, Your Fellow Americans is a celebration of the country’s diversity and humanity — and an invitation to rediscover the people who make this place home.
