LATEST EXHIBITION
Parent’s White Lies
One of the joys that comes with reading more than a million of our secrets is discovering new categories or genres of secrets. Some types of secrets are expected like secrets about pets, grandparents, and Valentine’s Day, but others are more surprising. I have received over a hundred secrets involving elevators, and more than 1,000 describing innocent lies told to children about the world.
FATHER’S DAY SPECIAL
Father’s Day
On Father’s Day, I always give my dad a holiday card, but some of the courageous secrets shared in this exhibition express my complex relationship with my dad much better than Hallmark ever could.
FROM THE HEART
Valentine’s Day
