William Kaplan has seen his share of tragedy on the journey westward. As he matures in a world so different from the one his parents experienced, he endures love and loss and seeks to carve out his own path.
Can multiple generations of Kaplans survive the spirit-crushing hazards of an ever-changing America.

The Surgeon: A Civil War Novel
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N4VQTPW
She can’t stop the fighting, but she can bandage the wounds…
Virginia Field Hospital, 1862. Abbey Kaplan will do whatever it takes to become a doctor. As a surgical assistant, her first major test is tolerating her chauvinistic male associates. But when her inaugural posting lands her smack in the middle of a Civil War field hospital, proving herself isn’t about pride—it’s a matter of life or death.
As the battle-mangled bodies keep coming, Abbey’s calling means ignoring the risks to her own safety and sanity. But when relentless gore, lack of sleep, and overwhelming pressure push her toward her breaking point, establishing herself in a man’s world might just kill her.
Explore the mindset of a female doctor during the cruelest of wars, at a time when the practice of Medicine was more of an art than a science. And a women’s place was at home…not practicing medicine.
The Surgeon: A Civil War Novel is the third book in An American Journeys Novel historical fiction series. If you like brave heroines, authentic settings, and stories that bring the past to life, then you’ll love Richard Alan Schwartz’s stunning saga.
