The Other Voice

A haunting, poetic novella about grief, memory, and the unfinished songs we carry.

When stage technician Sam O’Connor hears a melody drifting through an empty theater, he doesn’t expect it to sound like a ghost he’s tried to forget. The singer is young, confident—and unknowingly echoing the exact tune once written by Sam’s deceased twin brother, Alex.

What begins as curiosity spirals into an unraveling of long-buried truths. Sam is forced to confront his family’s dark past, the faith that fractured them, and the shame that silenced a love too deep for words. As his connection to the young singer deepens, so does the mystery of Alex’s legacy… and the possibility of a healing Sam never thought he deserved.

A quiet gut-punch of a story, The Other Voice explores found family, spiritual trauma, and the redemptive power of music in the hands of those brave enough to listen.

For fans of Ocean Vuong, Nghi Vo, and readers who believe the softest stories often cut the deepest.
