Shortcut in Time by Charles Dickinson

This book is out of one of my favorite genres, time travel. Not the type of time travel with big machines and over arching, changing the world, kind of heroes. No, this is the story of a man in a small Midwestern town who stumbles across a 'shortcut' in time along a shortcut path in his neighborhood. The cascading effect of all that follows is well presented and realistically portrayed. You wonder about the various characters sanity and just how they are dealing with what they see and hear. The ending comes up on you really fast, but it fits the arc of the story very well. This is the type of story that should leave something up to the reader, and it does.
