About this item

A heartwarming memoir of love and faith from Hannah Brencher - founder of The World Needs More Love Letters - who has dedicated her life to showing total strangers that they are not alone in the world.Fresh out of college, Hannah Brencher moved to New York ready to change the world. Instead, she found a city full of people who knew where they were going and what they were doing and didn't have time for a girl still trying to figure it all out. Lonely and depressed, she noticed a woman who looked like she felt the same way on the subway. Hannah did something strange - she wrote the woman a letter. She folded it, scribbled "If you find this letter, it's for you ... " on the front and left it behind. When she realized that it made her feel better, she started writing and leaving love notes all over the city - in doctor's offices, in coat pockets, in library books, in bathroom stalls.
