Stephen B. Satterwhite / Stephen BSatterwhite
In the summer of 1953, as his mother was ironing clothes, two-year-old Stephen B. Satterwhite walked up to his mother and said, “Mommy, I’ve been here before.” His stunned mother knelt down and asked him what he was talking about. He told her that he had lived on Earth before that he was on a big sailboat that got caught in a storm and he drowned.Ever since he was born, Stephen B. Satterwhite has seen things that other people have not seen. Somehow, he is wired differently, in that he understands the significance of what is happening in the world around him. In his first book, the popular True Stories from a Baby Boomer, he sets the stage, as he describes a normal life of heartwarming stories about the ups and downs of living here on Earth.That is exactly his point. He truly understands that we are living here on Earth that we are on a journey that is about to unfold into an incredible story. We are at a point in our history when three events are going to converge—our population is reaching eight billion people, our scientific discoveries are moving at light speed, and we are exploring the universe in search of life elsewhere.Very soon, as these three events come together, we are going to finally understand who, what, and why we are as human beings living here on Earth. Mr. Satterwhite’s prophesy has finally arrived in the form of a captivating story about an average family of four swept up in the horror of a forest fire, where two of them live and two of them die and, by doing so, discover a beautiful life that awaits us, forever and ever.
