Profound and sympathetic\u2026 A probing short story collection that examines love, life, grief, forgiveness, and redemption.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snowden impresses with his exceptional collection of eight deeply poignant stories in his latest. A decades-old unsavory act sets the stage for a hard-edged businessman\u2019s transformation into a sympathetic person weighed down with guilt and shame in \u201cYesterday\u2019s Giant.\u201d Snowden\u2019s prose is assured as he takes readers into a long-dead artisan glassmaker\u2019s quest to fulfilling his wish in \u201cSnowfall in Venice.\u201d In \u201cNever in Time,\u201d a time travel tale with a dash of paranormal, Snowden traces a computer repair shop owner\u2019s journey of longing and mystery as he sets on to free a beautiful, young woman lost in time. The deeply poignant \u201cFortesque\u201d is heartbreaking and heartfelt at once. The images that surface from Snowden\u2019s words are marvelous and sublime, whether he is exploring a middle-aged man\u2019s stroke of luck, tracing a rape victim\u2019s journey to forgiveness, or tracing the astonishing fall and rise of a young wealthy heir. Set in the present day as well as over a century-old past, Snowden skillfully brings the setting to life, be it the Venetian Island of Murano, Cortina, Italy or 1850s Eden, Maine. The stories make incredible emotional impact into surprisingly few pages. Snowden has an impressive range, and his portrayal of intricate characters making the best out of their untenable situations is both memorable and relatable. The themes of love, loss, luck, guilt, trauma, revenge, compassion, and salvation fill the pages. Readers will love this remarkable, deliciously addictive collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
