A collection of one hundred deeply personal stories—covering love and heartbreak, growth and resilience—brought to life by the creator of the wildly popular TikTok account @HunterProsper.

Every stranger has a story, and we’re more alike than we are different.

Hunter Prosper knows this to be true. As an ICU nurse, Hunter has been a confidant to people at their most vulnerable moments; he’s shared joy and sorrow, heard confessions of love and regret, and, at times, stood as the only witness to a patient’s final words.

In 2020, everything changed. His days were consumed with doing all he could to care for his patients, some of whom spent their final moments in isolation, unable to talk. When a patient close to his age passed away, Hunter reached a breaking point. He began using his phone as a diary to record his feelings and his patients’ stories—and, eventually, stories from strangers he encountered on the street—becoming a voice for the voiceless. Over time, this turned into Stories from a Stranger, a social media project that quickly resonated with millions of people who craved genuine human connection.

Now, in Stories from a Stranger, Hunter shares one hundred brand-new interviews, offering deeply personal narratives from people of different ages, races, genders, and backgrounds from all across the country. In asking everyday questions like “Who was your greatest love?” and “What was your hardest goodbye?” Hunter receives extraordinary answers—unforgettable stories of the human experience that delve into universal themes of love, heartbreak, resilience, and growth.

Heartfelt, humbling, and profoundly inspiring, Stories from a Stranger is more than a collection of stories—it’s a testament to our shared humanity and the healing power of connection.
