The original PostSecret was selected by the Los Angeles Times as a Favorite Book of the Year.

|For the past four years, Frank Warren, known as "the most trusted stranger in America," has invited people all over the world to send him creatively decorated postcards bearing secrets they have never before revealed. He has shared these PostSecrets on his blog, in an internationally traveling art exhibit, and in four electrifying and bestselling books: PostSecret, My Secret, The Secret Lives of Men and Women, and A Lifetime of Secrets.
Warren's fifth book presents a never-before-seen collection of the most personal PostSecrets he's ever received—those dealing with life, death, and issues of faith and belief. The book lays bare the confessions of people at every stage of life, from every major faith (or from no faith). Warren's latest collection of secrets is his most profoundly moving yet.
|“Frank Warren gives the postcard unexpected lucency by reproducing hundreds of cards from an ongoing public art project.” - Los Angeles Times
“The art comes in how people tell their stories—scrawled out on postcards in so many clever, deeply personal and moving ways you’re bound to feel, after reading these things, something like a deity on the receiving end of the world’s prayers.” - Salon.com
“Warren has tapped something mystical.” - Philadelphia Inquirer
“The postcards are mini-works of art. Some are heartbreaking, some are hilarious, some are touching or thought-provoking or shocking or silly or repulsive. All of them are riveting.” - USA Today
