The Fix-it-Shop: BASED ON A TRUE STORY

At fifteen years old, he thought he was just taking a job to help his family.

What he walked into instead would follow him for the rest of his life.

The Fix It Shop is a true-to-life coming-of-age story about trust, silence, and the moment a young boy realizes the world is far more dangerous—and complicated—than he was ever prepared for. Set in a small town where everyone knows your name and secrets are easier to bury than confront, the story unfolds through the eyes of a teenager who slowly uncovers disturbing truths hidden in plain sight.

Years later, after discovering a folder in his mother’s cabinet titled The Fix It Shop, long-buried memories and unanswered questions resurface—forcing him to confront what really happened, and what it cost him to survive it.

Told with honesty, restraint, and emotional clarity, The Fix It Shop is not just a story about trauma—it’s about resilience, memory, and the long road toward understanding the past without being defined by it.
