"Touching." --The New York Times For fans of Humans of New York and
PostSecret, a collection of raw, urgent, and heartfelt stories,
shared anonymously. Helena Dea Bala was an exhausted and isolated
DC lobbyist, suffocating under the weight of her student loan debt,
when she decided to split her lunch with a man who often panhandled
near her office. They chatted effortlessly as they ate; there were
no half-truths or white lies, and no fear of judgment. Helena felt
connected and unburdened in a way she hadn't in years. Inspired,
she posted an ad on Craigslist promising to listen, anonymously and
for free, to whatever the speaker felt he or she couldn't tell
anyone else. Emails from people desperate to connect flooded her
inbox, and she listened. Within months, Helena quit her job,
deferred her loans, and dove into listening full time. The forty
first-person confessions in this book are vivid, intimate, and
real; they range from devastating traumas, to lost loves, to
reflections on hard choices. Some accounts are quotidian, like that
of one increasingly estranged husband: "I want to feel that we're
not just roommates--that we're not just waiting for the kids to
grow up so that we can move on." Others are deeply disconcerting,
like that of a sex addict employed by a religious organization and
several are heartening, like that of a mother who dares to hope
that her daughter, born with life-threatening heart defects, will
one day walk down the aisle: "Sometimes you need to have the
audacity to believe that it will all be okay, that it is okay to
have the same kinds of dreams as everyone else." In its complex
portrayal of the common human experience, Craigslist Confessional
challenges us to explore the depths of our vulnerability and expand
the borders of our empathy.
