Our story tonight is called The Secret Stair, and it’s a story about a costume party on Halloween night at the Inn. It’s also about the bonfire down by the lake, a whiskered face at the window, a mystery waiting in the library and a reminder of what is sacred and worth your attention and what is not.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to Greater Good, on the ground in Florida and North Carolina, delivering emergency relief in the devastating aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Learn more in our show notes. greatergood.org/
