The San Clemente Bait Shop and Telephony

Something wondrous happens in the sun-drenched seaside village of San Clemente. Each day in the telephony where Jenna Archer is the de facto curator, regular visitors receive calls from their pasts with hopes of regaining their futures. Despite these brushes with the mystical, Jenna’s life is shrinking. Her brother Brian went missing seventeen years ago, and her mother’s vigil is more prison than sanctuary. A telephone rings for Jenna. She speaks to the last person to see her brother. She must find the man in the present to discover what he knows about Brian’s disappearance or risk being shackled to her past forever. Not your typical inspirational fiction. Hill wields magical realism to deepen the story and create a sense of wonder. Flawed and real, Jenna teeters on the cusp of faith.
