In his introduction to the anthology, New York Times best-seller John Gilstrap writes about the Power of Secrets.

Our secrets define us, allow us to shape for others the image that we want them to see, projecting our strengths and sheltering our weaknesses." Open the book, settle by the riverbank or the bay shore, and discover the secrets harbored by the Chesapeake Bay Writers.
