The Authenticity Project by Claire Pooley

A little book to share your secrets with no one who knows you - it sounds so simple and safe but the Authenticity Project notebook makes up for lost time and lost dreams. Monica who runs the cafe, Julian the artist who was once famous and now is invisible, Hazard the addict who is a miss and a new mom struggling with her identity and trying to be almost a single parent. Somehow this group comes together through a found notebook and the outcome is marvelous. It is like watching LOVE ACTUALLY over and over. In the end, you feel good about yourself and have a burning desire to go out and take a chance or do something nice for a stranger. Knowing this is based on a real-life circumstance that makes it all the more special.
