First-Time Caller
B.K. Borison, 2025
A Baltimore call-in host who has fallen out of love with love, and the caller who makes her want to try again.
Before this, Borison wrote the Lovelight series — small-town romances she first published herself, before a major publisher picked them up.
Feels like love, hope and wonder.
The strange joy of watching someone you almost lost be happy again.
They keep sending me pictures of themselves in front of various state signs. Beaming on the beach in Delaware, wrapped in parkas. Matching threadbare baseball caps in New York. My mom clutching a bag of gummy worms to her chest in front of a half-bent sign in New Jersey, a knit beanie over the hair that’s just started to regrow. Their faces lined with untethered joy. B.K.
