A hungry boy drinks milk out of a school trash can, and the other kids call him the Milkman. Fifty years later he decides the nickname was never an insult. It was a diagnosis of strength.

The Milkman is the true story of Robert Reynolds: from hunger and neglect in South Louisiana, to the Army at seventeen with fifty dollars in his pocket, to three decades as a locksmith who shows up at the worst moment of a stranger's day, to a return to college in his fifties. Around that life runs a working philosophy he calls Empathy on Wheels, Head on a Swivel: care hard for the people in front of you, and keep your eyes open. Both at once.

It is a book for anyone who needs hope they can actually use on a bad morning, proof, written in scars and specifics, that the starting line is not the finish line.
