Time Travel Spotlight – The Winding Road by John A. Heldt
Synopsis
Southeast Pennsylvania, November 1777.
For Noah and Jake Maclean, the saga gets real. One year after the brothers entered a time portal and traded the computer age for the colonial age, they rush headlong into the American Revolution.
Noah, 23, rides off to war. Against the wishes of his fiancée, Abigail Ward, he joins the Continental Army as it retreats to Valley Forge. To improve his odds of surviving the war, he brings knowledge and pistols, weapons that soon draw the attention of the enemy.
Jake, 16, stays behind. He helps furniture maker Samuel Ward and his family resettle in the countryside after the British seize Philadelphia. As he supports his newfound kin, he strengthens his relationship with Rachel Ward, Sam’s mischievous younger daughter.
The time travelers chart new courses in an era filled with violence, disease, and disruption. In doing so, they leave a mess for relatives tasked with reporting their disappearance.
As Douglas and Donna Maclean confront investigators and reporters in 2024, they do their best to carry out an elaborate ruse, protect an ancient family secret, and use the resources of the present to protect their nephews from the perils of the past.
In THE WINDING ROAD, the second book in the Stone Shed trilogy, two brothers find romance, danger, and adventure as they make their way in a world they were never meant to see.
