The Reckoning of Barnard Joseph Snodgrass: The Making of a Hero

By B L Sanders

Barnard Joseph Snodgrass thought New Year's Eve would be his last night on Earth. Slumped in a recliner, glass of wine in one hand and a loaded revolver in the other, he wasn't expecting fireworks-he was expecting silence.

Instead, he gets his reckoning.

Dragged into a dreamlike afterlife by a sharp-witted, silver-heeled guardian angel, Barnard is forced to revisit the story of his life-one bittersweet memory at a time. From frosty Kansas mornings in the 1950s to the mistakes that haunt him decades later, each chapter of his past unfolds like a home movie... only this time, he can't look away.

Funny, tender, and unflinchingly honest, The Reckoning is a heartwarming journey through childhood joys, family bonds, near-death regrets, and unexpected grace. It's a story about what we remember, what we bury, and what might still be waiting for redemption.

Because sometimes, the only way forward... is back.
