Mark J. Jacobs is the author of “The Quirky Heart of Ted the Grocer”, and honestly it feels like one of those books you don’t just read, you sort of slip into ,like you’re standing in a tiny aisle again. It’s a deeply nostalgic memoir, pulled from his uncle’s small-town grocery store in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Jacobs brings together real-life background and a storyteller’s sense for timing so the everyday stuff doesn’t stay ordinary for long, it becomes a vivid account of small-town America.
