Description of Worst Generation by Dan P. Greaney
The Worst Generation is character Jenny Alhouse s indictment of her parents contributions to the contemporary world, their generational short-sighted and selfish degradation of economic and environmental well-being.
Her recounting of childhood shows much she is thankful for – a stable, caring home, times kayaking with her father, family trips, a quality education, the benefits of prosperity. But she tells the story from her adulthood, and includes the things she could not see as a child: the economic and environmental plundering and inconsideration imbedded in her upbringing that leave her world unstable, uncivil, and unsafe.

Thanks
Very unique and interesting. Thanks.
Think I will have to pass on this one, since the lead character Jenny complains about the Baby Boom generation’s “short-sighted and selfish degradation of environmental well-being”. Sorry Jenny, but we had a rotary dial phone, all our years, in fact right up to a few months ago. We are not the generation, who needs the newest electronic gadgets and phones. We hunted flea markets and antique stores for previously owned goods, that we still re-use. Jenny thinks her generation is the greenest? Well think again.
This sounds like a really interesting view of recent history. I’d like to take a look, thanks for the chance to win a copy.
