What Do You Mean We Didn't Save The World?: The Mostly True Journey of One of the Seventy-five Million Baby Boomers

Author Preston McCracken takes us on a Baby Boomer journey complete with running away from home on a tricycle to being assaulted by a rather large woman at the top of the Eiffel Tower. This humorous memoir takes a look at the generation that excitedly listened to the radio as the British invaded and now tries to overthrow the statistics for retirement while age is redefined with every new interest. The years between 1946 and 1964 produced a demographic that thought they were special. In fact, being Boomers, we echoed the philosopher, Carl Spackler’s quote from Caddeyshack, “So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.” In this engaging book, Preston takes us along through his childhood, school, youth, sports, the arts, pets, jobs, marriage, teaching, church, moving, and travel with a constant awareness that life is just waiting for the right moment to hit you in the face with a pie. Don’t overlook the “Testimonies from Beyond” to set the tone for what will follow. This book is a part of the Beyond Words Project that will donate 10% of all profits to the Help Hospitalized Veterans organization. The HHV mission statement is to promote the general welfare of hospitalized veterans so that, despite profound disabilities and pain, they maintain a sense of pride, self-confidence and dignity during their rehabilitation process. Access to four Free Bonus Webinars is included at the back of the book. Preston talks with Jim McTaggart and Jamie Huscroft about Becoming an Adult Hockey Player, Dan Cautrell about Becoming a Creative, David Rash about Becoming a Jazzy Special Friend to the special needs community, and Marsha McCracken about Becoming a ‘Sophisticated’ Traveler. That is almost a full two hours of inside information in four different areas. Enjoy the book and don’t forget to go back to Amazon to give it an honest review. Amazon and Preston thanks you.
