Missing Time: The Secret of Cedar Hollow

In 2015, Alabama state researcher Claire Whitaker finds an impossible anomaly: a thirty-mile radius around the small town of Cedar Hollow shows zero documented birth for two full years, 1946-1947. She assumes it's a reporting error, until courthouse ledgers, church books, and newspaper archives reveal the same blank gap. Claire travels to Cedar Hollow and partners with Thomas Reed, the town's guarded records clerk. As they interview residents, a stranger pattern emerges - no one can recall clear facts from those years, only a powerful, lingering peace that feels like a beautiful dream. Each memory varies: some remember being alone and blissful; others remember seeing loved ones who had died - especially the young men Cedar Hollow lost in World War II. As Claire and Thomas fall in love, their search leads to a church-side monument etched with Joel 2:25 - and a breathtaking possibility: Cedar Hollow wasn't hiding history. It was given mercy, and its missing years were restored in silence.
