"I not only have my secrets. I am my secrets. And you are your secrets... Our trusting each other enough to share them with each other has much to do with the secret of what it is to be human" (Frederick Buechner). Telling Secrets weaves striking meditations on the nature of faith and its place in Buechner's suffering and healing with stunning speculations on "the way God speaks through the hieroglyphics of the things that happen to us."
