Summary
Marisol Tran has been a delivery courier for four years, and at 6:40 on a Tuesday morning an app she has never met decides she is not efficient enough to keep. Her rent is two months behind, her box van has two hundred thousand miles and a mind of its own, and the only job left on her phone is one nobody else would take: one crate, ninety-four pounds, from Duluth, Minnesota to a small harbor town on the Alabama coast, in twelve days, with no airplanes.
The crate belongs to Harold Voss, seventy-eight, a retired teacher who corrects grammar the way other people breathe. He will not fly. He will not drive after dark. He stops every ninety minutes, and will say only one word about the crate: bell.
Twelve days and nineteen hundred miles later there has been a dead battery in a dairy field, a basset hound who walks highways, a motel with thirty-one house rules, a spelling bee short one judge, a flooded road and a cable ferry, a drive-in with one working projector, a whole house rolling down the highway at seven miles an hour, and a garage full of people who will not let strangers fail. Every town hands them a name and a phone number. Every night Harold taps the same quiet rhythm on his knee when he thinks no one is looking.
By the time Marisol learns whose bell it is, who is waiting at the end of the road, and what Harold means to do when he gets there, she has stopped counting minutes. What remains is whether a man who has said "next year" for half a century can finally stand on the dock, and whether a woman who has always been paid by the minute can learn what slow miles are worth.
Warm, funny and full of heart, Slow Miles is a heartwarming contemporary road trip novel about grief, friendship, and the family you find along the way.
