Sam, This Is You

When telephone lineman Sam Yoder hears a voice claiming to be his own, speaking from twelve days in the future, he thinks he's stumbled into a prank—until the caller knows his location, his private secrets, and the exact line breaks he's meant to repair. Sam, a modest man with big ambitions and a sweetheart named Rosie, soon realizes that a message from the future could be the key to money, pride, and a very strange kind of success. With a half-finished telephone experiment of his own, Sam builds a device that lets him call forward in time, and the two Sams begin trading tips that seem to promise easy riches. But the future proves mischievous and morally complicated: Sam's attempts to impress Rosie with impossible knowledge only frighten her, and when a bank robbery in Dunnsville unfolds exactly as foretold, he is forced to confront the dangerous cost of knowing too much. As Rosie takes charge with fierce practicality, monkey wrench in hand, romance, comedy, crime, and time-loop suspense collide. In the end, Sam discovers the truth behind the impossible calls, outwits his own past, and heads to Batesville with Rosie to get married, richer, wiser, and still just a little bewildered.
