It's 2020. Tea Richards sold off all of her apartment furniture and watched her master's graduation on Zoom, with no future job prospects and nowhere to go. Her mother is on the front lines working at hospitals to fight the disease, so going home to New Jersey wouldn't be safe. Instead, her mother suggests joining her grandparents at their cabin up at Silver Falls in Minnesota for the summer, a place she has avoided since her last visit when she was eighteen. It's the only choice she has, even if it forces her to finally face her grief. But at least there's open air, blue skies, golden sunsets, and less people she'll have to deal with.
Until the boy next door knocks on the screen door.
Archer Vincent has spent every summer at the lake helping his family run Wild Pines Resort, and this year is his first as the resort's manager. But throw a global pandemic into the mix, and nothing seems to be going to plan. Especially now that Tea Richards is back for the summer, and even though he hasn't seen her in years, his boyhood crush on her remains. Despite his best made plans to keep everyone at the resort safe, Archer can't help breaking his own rules over and over again, all so he can get one step closer to the girl that got away.
Set during the highs and lows of that first summer during the COVID-19 pandemic, Call Of The Loon is a heart wrenching tale of what happens after you lose everything you once loved, and to follow your heart when a far off call leads you back home.
