Sliver Creek Revival
The state brought a mandate. The mountain brought a curse. The schoolhouse brought a revival.

Radiance & Rust
For fifteen years, Julian has found sanctuary in the quiet of his repair shop. To him, the world is simple: a wire frays, a circuit breaks, and any problem can be solved with a schematic and a steady hand. He trusts what he can measure and leaves "feelings" to the collectors. Then Sarah walks in. Carrying a silent 1940s radio and an unwavering belief in miracles, she challenges everything Julian knows about logic. As the old machine sparks back to life, so does a series of unlikely encounters that force Julian out of his solitary fortress and into a vibrant, chaotic community. Surrounded by hurting people clutching their most fragile treasures, Julian is forced to face a truth his tools can't quantify: sometimes, a break isn't a failure—it’s the only way the light gets in.
