Thank You for an Incredible Book Launch Day

What an incredible launch day.Today we officially released my new book, The Middle: How the Quiet Majority Can Mend a Divided Nation, and I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. The response has been overwhelming. From online orders across the country to the two book signings we held today where we actually ran out of books, I’m incredibly grateful for the support.I’ve received messages and texts from friends and readers from New York to Florida to the West Coast, and it’s humbling to see this message already traveling far beyond where it started.The heart behind The Middle is simple: many of us are growing tired of the yelling, the extremes, and the division that seem to dominate our national conversation. I believe there is a large group of people in the middle who want something better — people who still believe in the idea of being one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Thank you to everyone who purchased the book, shared it, and showed up to support this message. We have more book signings ahead and hopefully some travel around the country soon to continue the conversation.I’m incredibly grateful for all of you.— Patrick Payton
