Snapshots In Time, by Eric Grate, is a unique collection of twenty hardscrabble vignettes that present the reader with a fleeting glimpse of the bigger picture. It is left up to the reader to decide who is good and who is bad, what is right and what is wrong, and ultimately, how each story plays out to its end. The author presents a cast of characters worthy of the niche he is carving out in literary fiction. Heroes and villains. Winners and losers. Saints and sinners. Do with them what you will.
