This story addresses our Catch 22. As we work to ensure a bountiful future for ourselves we destroy earthly assets and threaten a disastrous future for our descendants. This paradox tears the warring Idelman family asunder. Joe is an executive who wins a national award for creating the finest advertisement of the year. Daughter Candi is a computer genius whose work allows corporate clients to eliminate hundreds of employees. Their hard work, brilliance and commitment earn them great wealth and treasured respect of their peers. They believe the future depends on rigid adherence to principles of economic progress, growth and efficiency. But Joe's beloved wife, Marie, a South Central L.A. social studies teacher, and their anti-establishment son, Jesse, claim that the Joes and Candies of the world are destroying the planet, and with it, mankind's future. Marie's increasing criticism drives Joe to seek solace, respect and support from his business partner, an old college teammate, and into the arms of a beautiful model. The growing tension between Joe and Marie spins out of control after a mysterious murder takes place. It's a tragedy which sends Joe on an odyssey from his Brentwood mansion to remote Peru, and then to his small hometown where he confronts a shocking revelation that seals his fate. This story is a must read for anyone who hopes to save the world.

About the Author

Bob Fussell was born, and spent his earliest years in Peru. He grew up in LeRoy, a small town in Western New York State. He graduated from Washington and Lee University in Virginia in 1964; taught math, English and biology on the secondary level in Los Angeles in the mid sixties, and graduated from L.A.'s Loyola Law School in 1970. Since 1972 he has practiced law in LeRoy, where he is currently the Village Deputy Mayor. He is also a former President of his county's Chamber of Commerce. Immediatedly after moving to L.A. in the mid 60's he became intrigued with the questions: When will our wells run dry? and How long can our planet continue to provide the fuel and other raw materials we need to run our cars, airplanes and many other products of our burgeoning economy? Over the past 35 years he's read many books like Al Gore's Earth in the Balance, the State of the World series, Paul Ehrilick's The Population Bomb, and Theo Coburn's Our Stolen Future. And he watched earth's resources rapidly dwindle as world economies and human population mushroom to satisfy mankind's voracious appetites.
