The Streets of Greenfield

The Streets of Greenfield, by Eric Grate, is a collection of eighteen linked short stories set in the small Appalachian town of Greenfield, OH, between 1946 and 2023. The stories cut against the grain in an edgy, often humorous, style that the author calls "hardscrabble fiction." Experience life on Greenfield's tough streets where losers sometimes win, winners often lose, and anti-heroes carry the day. Meet a man who makes a promise to himself and then waits seventy years to keep it. Ride with a dubious duo of step-brothers who come face to face with foes they have no business fighting, let alone beating. Tag along with a woman who has lost it all as she helps a deserving man feel her immense pain. There's no limit to what goes down on the streets of Greenfield.
