Newsday described him as a writer thoroughly in command of his art, while the Chicago Tribune wrote he can surprise us at almost every turn. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Dickinson slips beyond the bounds of mundane realism to create a poignant fantasy that bears comparison to the work of Jack Finney and Jonathan Carroll. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEuclid, Illinois, is a town of many shortcuts, between houses, through orchards, and across fields. Josh Winkler, a local artist and longtime resident, knows these irregular pathways well, but is thoroughly taken aback when a hasty dash down a familiar walk deposits him fifteen minutes in the past--literally. At first, Josh is more intrigued than alarmed by this accidental time travel. Then a lost young woman appears, claiming to be from 1908 . . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs his life, his family, his town, and even history itself begin to unravel, Josh gradually realizes that his only salvation may lie in A Shortcut Time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharles Dickinson has written a moving and unforgettable book about the way the past can affect the present as well as, sometimes, the other way around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765306395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.12w x 0.76d","brand":"Charles Dickinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36642497822876,"sku":"9780765306395","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c2c03427-7944-4eb2-ae67-46b661b8ac84.jpg?v=1603854971","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-shortcut-in-time-9780765306395","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
