Starting in 1946 the Brotherhood of Old Souls and Great Minds knew that humans had gotten too smart with the creation of the Atomic Bomb. After several pleas, it became obvious that human foolishness could easily destroy the conditions that are necessary for human existence on Earth. Many attempts have been made but the conditons are getting worse.

In this book Harold Cottrell searches for answers that will lead to solutions. The first questions are: Who am I? and Why are we here? The Brotherhood has assigned a council to meet with Cottrell at various times and places-some of which are not in this world.

Soon, Cottrell becomes aware that we have the technology to create the voice of a generation. In particular, the Boomers, who are in their elder years and facing the fate of becoming insignificant and irrelevant as a generation. Because Cottrell is "very smart" but "stubborn", the Brotherhood decides to send Vonnegut to be with him until the book gets written. It worked.

February 2, 2033. People everywhere gathered to celebrate the arrival of the morning light. They have forgotten about the groundhog and his shadow. Instead, they are celebrating the message from the movie Groundhog Day.

It has become well known that we have the possibility of repairing the past. We look to the future to learn. Just One Generation is all we need.

Harold Cottrell tells his grandson about the Baby Boomers-the hopes and failures of a generation. Can this next generation be the one? In telling the story an unexpected journey is encountered on a path illuminated by the Light we cannot see.

Buy this book. Read it. It will take approximately the time it takes to canoe from Lynn Camp Creek to Big Buffalo Crossing on the Green River.

“My old friend Harold Cottrell has woven a most wonderful literary tapestry from the silken threads of personal reflections, spiritual insights, and social vision. I am sure that it will bring reading pleasure and profound inspiration to all who have the good karma to encounter it.”
