In all their permutations, these unforgettable stories explore one of the irresistible facets of human nature, the fact that everyone has a secret. Marthe Jocelyn has selected twelve stories

by several of the best authors in North America to explore the nature and the power of secrets. Sometimes secrets can be downright funny - how would you like to be the front person for your fake, clairvoyant mother? Secrets can also be scary - if you are pretending that your father is dead so you don't have to introduce him to your teacher. And sometimes secrets can break your heart, and heal it - when they have to do with the ties that bind generations together.
