Just because I'm calling this giveaway "In the Confessional" doesn't mean it's about Roman Catholicism. Anything but! Acclaimed novelist Mary Gordon, who was raised as a Roman Catholic, now knows her father was Jewish and practices a sort of mindful Christianity that acknowledges many other paths to faith.

Have you ever had a secret that you desperately wanted to share, but couldn't? We all have, and Frank Warren, a Maryland small business owner, realized in 2004 that not only does everyone have a secret -- if we all had somewhere to reveal them that was safe, it might not only do us good individually, but also comfort us collectively to see that other people have the same private fears, desires, impulses, and actions.

On the Literature Map, the closer two authors are located next to each other, the more likely that a person will like both of them. The map is experimental and based on the input of users. (We think it's kind of neat!)
