In the vein of PostSecret comes this emotionally addictive
and thrilling look at people’s deepest thoughts—some tragic,
some funny, some adventurous—told anonymously and in their
own handwriting. The world is not made up of atoms; it is composed of tiny
stories. And everyone has a story. In 2009 in an Ann Arbor coffeehouse, Brandon Doman began
asking passersby to share a story with him. Providing paper,
pens, and clipboards, his only criteria was that the story
had to be true. Doman then displayed selected stories on his
website strangersproject.com. Astonishing in their honesty,
intimate, powerful, sometimes chilling, and thoroughly
addictive, the stories became an Internet hit. Over the past five years, Doman’s personal passion
project—10,000 stories strong and growing—has continued to
engage strangers of all ages and backgrounds and has
transformed into a powerful movement of readers and
storytellers who use the project’s anonymity as a gateway to
reflect, rejoice, heal, and connect through words. Now, Doman has carefully chosen 200 stories that capture the
essence of The Strangers Project. Introduced by Doman, the
stories convey the range of human experience, from the
humorous to the heartbreaking to the profound, and are
arranged to mirror the common encounters that happen between
strangers every day. A celebration of human curiosity and our need for
connection, What’s Your Story? opens us to new possibilities
and provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of others
with one simple question: “What’s your story?”
