"Woodard is one of the greatest writers I've ever discovered... FOR THE SENDER is an inspiring, thought-provoking, and life-changing work."
- Dr. Wayne Dyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author
The FOR THE SENDER album, book, and live event series was developed by Alex Woodard and features Grammy-winning, platinum-selling artists presenting powerful songs and stories of love, loss, redemption and hope, all inspired by real-life letters. The project supports several causes, including full sponsorship of yearly surf camps for veterans, and has earned nods from Ellen Degeneres (‘I love this!’), Billboard (‘one of the year’s most touching releases’), and Huffington Post (‘important, enlightening, and ultimately inspiring’), as well as endorsements from several #1 New York Times bestselling authors.
One part social commentary, one part memoir, and all parts perfectly inappropriate, this collection of essays reveals truths about relationships, family, society, and career, as told through the eyes of a struggling singer-songwriter caught between his 1980s childhood and today’s comparative-happiness landscape.
