Secrets in the Old Radio

By Louis Johnston

Caleb Mercer can fix almost anything on his workbench. His own life is another matter.

Since losing his wife, Caleb has retreated into the familiar routines of his small-town repair shop. But when an old radio left behind by his friend Arthur Bell leads him to a locked cabinet, he discovers that Arthur kept more than broken belongings. He kept a secret for decades.

Following the clues draws Caleb into a story of estrangement, sacrifice, and choices whose consequences have never faded. As the past unfolds, his daughter Nora offers him a chance to repair their own strained relationship-if he can learn to let her in.

A moving novella of small-town secrets, friendship, grief, and forgiveness, this is a story about the things we hold on to and the courage it takes to begin again.
