Synopsis

"This alluring mix of time-travel, American history, and baseball will rope in readers of socio-political thrillers." - Publishers Weekly
On a freezing night in 1778, General George Washington vanishes. Walking away from the Valley Forge encampment, he takes a fall and is knocked unconscious, only to reappear at a dog park on San Francisco Bay - in the summer of 2014.
Washington befriends two Berkeley twenty-somethings who help him cope with the astonishing - and often comical - surprises of the twenty-first century.
Washington's absence from Valley Forge, however, is not without serious consequences. As the world rapidly devolves around them - and their beloved Giants fight to salvage a disappointing season - George, Tim, and Matt are catapulted on a race across America to find a way to get George back to1778.
Equal parts time travel tale, thriller, and baseball saga, Finding George Washington is a gripping, humorous, and entertaining look at what happens when past and present collide in the 9th inning, with the bases loaded and no one warming up in the bullpen.
