It's bad enough Kristi Connors has to share a room at school with her annoying stepsister. She's also had no news from Ty, her best friend and fellow time-traveler who stayed behind in 1858 after their last trip into the past. He seems to have disappeared from history Did he continue to work on the Underground Railroad? Become a surgeon? She finally discovers the heartbreaking truth: Ty was killed during the Battle of Antietam. Kristi decides she must return to the past again to save him. Meanwhile, back in 1862, after a close friend dies from a battlefield wound, Ty volunteers at a hospital in Washington. Given the dirtiest, smelliest, most menial jobs, he works day and night to improve the wretched, filthy conditions there, but the doctors won't listen. When he's finally sent to the battlefield, can he avoid the same fate as his friend? Kristi time-travels to Washington in 1862, but Ty has already left the hospital. She follows him to Antietam by working as a nurse for Clara Barton. In the end, will she be able to convince Ty to leave the battle and save himself? Or will her best friend become a number in the history books, just one more among the over 700,000 casualties of America's bloodiest war?
