Frontier Traveler

Graham Davidson is running from grief-but what he finds is a love powerful enough to change everything. In 1971, haunted by the loss of his siblings, Graham retreats to Yellowstone hoping its silence will quiet his own. But a vision quest at a sacred thermal spring sends him spiraling through time-into the unforgiving wilderness of 1871. There, in the midst of the Hayden Expedition-America's first official survey of Yellowstone-Graham faces a landscape as raw and broken as he feels. Yet in the heart of this brutal beauty, he meets Makawee, a Crow woman whose quiet strength and deep understanding offer him something he never thought possible again: connection. As the expedition pushes deeper into danger, and his bond with Makawee deepens, Graham must decide where he truly belongs. Can a man shattered by loss find healing in the past-or risk losing love once more by returning to the future? David Allan Galloway grew up in rural Pennsylvania near Gettysburg. After a long career in the paper industry and writing the bestselling business non-fiction book Safety WALK Safety TALK, he decided to follow a once dormant dream of writing a novel. He enjoys reading about adventurers and explorers, traveling internationally, riding a recumbent tandem bike, and spending time with his grandsons. David is currently working on the sequel to Burning Ground, tentatively titled Fatal Ground. He lives in Springboro, Ohio with his wife Leesa.
