The Clark Family was living in St. Louis, Missouri in the year of 1849. Joseph the father, had heard that people were finding gold in the state of California. Joe, as he liked to be call, summoned his family to meet and discuss a possible move to California. Surprisingly, the idea was well received and they started packing to make the trip. Little did they know that this trip was going to be a very special one. When they got to Colorado and where the Continental Divide was located. One morning they hiked to the top of the Divide and were approached by an angel. This angel gave them two choices in time to live. They discussed what time periods in which to live. One was moving ahead one hundred years to experience the time period of 1959. The other was to move ahead fifty years to live in the year 2009.A thorough discussion of living in these two time periods is explained. There is a stark difference of experiences and living during these two times. The author’s personal experiences of living during the 1959 and 2009 time periods is discussed in depth of these times in American History. His purpose in doing so is to show how American life and standards had gone downhill to the year 2009. These were subtle changes that people living in that time did not recognize or realize was happening to them. Society started accepting abortion, same-sex marriage, couples living together without marrying, abuse toward women and children, child pornography, just to name a few of the evils that we live with today.There still one part of the Clark’s story to be told. After they had lived and experienced these two time periods the angel reappears before them on one of their vacation trips back to the Continental Divide. The angel gave them a choice to go and live permanently during any of the three (their original 1849 included) periods. The family discussed the pros and cons of living in each period. It was a difficult decision. To discover which time period they chose to return, you will learn.
