Finding Travis

Summary

2016 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards finalist Travis Merrill's life isn't going according to plan. He's quit several career paths, his wife has left him, and his only solace is volunteering to portray a cavalry surgeon at historic Fort Verde in Arizona, a place where time seems to stand still.  When a weird trick of time actually sends him back to the year 1877, he's boxed into impersonating the surgeon for real. Unfortunately, he finds his medical knowledge is no match for the primitive practices of the day, and he's forced to make life-or-death decisions, not always successfully.  He wonders if he will ever be able to return to his own time or if he might find a life - and a love - 140 years in the past.
