A Second Chance in Old Tappan by Anthony Aquilino

In this historical, time-travel novelette, a lost and lonely college student takes a boat trip up the Hudson River in 1971 in the hopes of reviving his spirit. After a nautical mishap and a walk down an inviting country path, Fredrick Nelson finds himself transported to colonial America in 1780. There, Fredrick finds adventure and intrigue when he unwittingly stumbles into the most critical turning point of the American Revolution. His interference, though minor, becomes catastrophic. The decisions he makes and the actions he takes will determine not just the providence of the emerging nation, but also his own fate and the fate of the woman he has come to love.
