Telling Secrets

In *Telling Secrets*, Frederick Buechner delves into his personal life, reflecting on the effects of his father's suicide in 1936 and his family's subsequent grief.

The book also touches on his experiences as a parent, particularly his daughter's battle with anorexia.

Buechner emphasizes the significance of sharing secrets as a way to deepen human connections and to understand oneself and others more profoundly.

He explores themes of faith, human freedom, and the ordinary yet extraordinary nature of life, all while maintaining a quietly humorous and reflective voice.
