Missing Time: The Secret of Cedar Hollow

By Scott Hamele

In 2015, Alabama state researcher Claire Whitaker uncovers an impossible anomaly: the small town of Cedar Hollow recorded no births for two full years, 1946 to 1947, in the wake of devastating World War II losses. What begins as a routine audit becomes a journey into silence as courthouse ledgers, church registers, and newspapers all confirm the same missing time. Claire travels to Cedar Hollow and partners with Thomas Reed, the town's guarded records clerk. As they interview residents, they uncover memories not of events, but of profound peace-each person recalling the missing years differently, some even reuniting with loved ones lost in the war. As Claire and Thomas fall in love, they discover a final clue etched beside the local church: Joel 2:25 "I will restore to you the years..."
Missing Time is a haunting, hope-filled mystery about grief, mercy, and faith, written for readers who found meaning and comfort in stories like The Shack by William P. Young.
