Introduction
In a used bookshop named for Hawthorne, a man reaches for a novel and catches a pair of familiar brown eyes watching him through the shelves.
Twenty years since a series of misunderstandings, each one built on the last, sent them to opposite ends of the country carrying very different versions of the same story.
Twice Told is a story about the damage we carry, the stories we tell ourselves to survive it, and what happens when someone who knew you before the breaking finds you again.
This story explores the lasting effects of childhood trauma on relationships, intimacy, and self-worth. Nothing graphic is depicted, but the emotional territory is real. If these themes resonate with your own experience, please be gentle with yourself.
