Terrence Lee Talley is a nationally known school assembly speaker. His passion for students and storytelling has led to countless students across the country being impacted, healed, and changed.
Book Synopsis
Do you have a secret?
More than likely you do, or you know somebody who does. Often times a secret will tell you "You're not good enough" or "You are alone." Whether it's a secret involving drugs, depression, abuse, or suicide, the secret has one lie . . . You Can't Tell Anybody!
In Secrets Anonymous, you will read Terrence's personal story as well as messages and notes written to him from students across the country after they experienced a school assembly program that spreads the message that "You are loved" and "You are not alone."
No matter what your secret is, in this book you will find a similar story of a real student that is experiencing the same thing. The details may not be the same, but the feelings will. Some letters end positively and some not so much, but it's all real. Whether you're the friend looking to help a friend deal with a secret or you yourself are holding one, you will get some answers and knowledge that will give you comfort and hope.
Review Quotes
"I know I may be just another kid you wished to make an impact on, but you gave me inspiration to keep pushing forward and to "Never Give Up". Thank you from the bottom of my heart." - Student, age 13
"Secrets Anonymous: Our Story" is a fantastic look at the concerns and pressures that most of today's youth are currently experiencing. Terrence Talley provides an excellent framework for teens and young adults to put words to their emotions, and to start a conversation about things they have so far been too afraid or too embarrassed to discuss. I have personally recommended this book to several of my patients, and would highly recommend it to both youth and parents to allow for a better understanding of what our young people are going through each and every day. - Dr. David Radovich, Clinical Psychologist
