The characters are likable and it gets right to the action... The combination of history and time travel and engaging dialogue in an upbeat style has whetted my appetite to read more.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Expert Reviewer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormer history professor John Curry has been recruited by a time-travel company to scout the best vantage point for clients to witness the inauguration of the first President of the United States. There's just one problem: When he arrives in 1789, there is no inauguration-and no United States. Until this point, the time-travel job has had its perks. Getting relationship advice from the legendary lover, Casanova, was valuable. Accompanying Casanova to the opening night of Mozart's opera, Don Giovanni, was even better.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut being stranded in the British Colony of New York isn't what he signed up for. Few people have even heard of George Washington, and the short-lived American Revolution failed-presumably because Washington wasn't alive to lead it. John always knew history could change on a dime, but not after it already happened. Right?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter learning Washington was killed thirty years earlier during the French and Indian War, John realizes the only way he can return home is to ensure there's a United States to return to. Everything hinges on keeping Washington alive-not the easiest task protecting someone famous for leading battles on the front lines while perched on a horse. While traveling further back through time to protect Washington, he uncovers a secret the Freemasons have kept for more than two and a half centuries and learns that the history he thought he knew was completely wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Lafata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1492900710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781492900719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.70d","brand":"Chris Lafata","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985838604543,"sku":"9781492900719","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76dd08c8-2aaf-412d-b7a8-516a26d5c234.jpg?v=1683279836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/washingtons-providence-chris-lafata-9781492900719","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
