Me & Mrs. Jones by Justine Gladden

An honest, heartfelt insider look at living life on the road, Me & Mrs. Jones chronicles the author’s complicated experience working in the door-to-door sales industry. Justine Gladden’s memoir covers both the good and the bad – from the terror of being confronted with a gun to the joy of belonging to elite clubs within the business – with straightforward, sincere prose. While the book’s turn to youthful reflection at the end is a bit unexpected, the revelations in those final sections are resolute and unflinching and could easily warrant their own volume. All told, this is a fascinating memoir of a tale rarely told that poignantly celebrates what we can learn from every person we meet.
