 TIME TRAVEL WITH KRISTI AND TY TO THE BATTLEFIELDS AND HOSPITALS OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR IN "TIME TO HEAL"

It’s bad enough Kristi 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? Did he become a surgeon? Or did something terrible happen to him amid the horror and destruction of the Civil War? She decides he must return to the past again to find out.

Meanwhile, back in 1862, Ty volunteers at a hospital for wounded soldiers in Washington. Given the dirtiest, smelliest, most menial jobs, he works day and night to improve the wretched, filthy conditions there. When he’s finally sent to the battlefield, can he avoid the same fate as the soldiers he’s trying to help?

Kristi time-travels to Washington in 1862, but Ty has already left the hospital. She follows him to the battlefield by working as a nurse for Clara Barton. In the end, will she be able to convince Ty to leave the Battle of Antietam? 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?
