About the Book

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.



About the Author :
SCOTT HAMELE was born and raised in Kansas and has called the Kansas City area home since 1991. Married for more than thirty years, he treasures time with his two daughters and two grandchildren.

He was first published in an ASME engineering publication in 1992 and went on to author dozens of published articles in the commercial construction sector. In the 2000s, Hamele turned his research instincts toward historical fiction, developing more than a dozen story concepts-many of which have matured into his recent publishing journey. His work spans a wide range of genres, including historical fiction, near-future sci-fi, narrative biographies, and feel-good short stories. A prolific storyteller, Scott has more than two dozen works to his credit.

Review :

★★★★★ Missing Time hooks you with an eerie, irresistible premise - two entire years with no births, no records, and no memories that add up. Claire and Thomas's investigation unfolds like a small-town thriller wrapped in tenderness, grief, and grace. The love story feels earned, and the ending lands with a quiet, breathtaking ache.
