August 06, 2006: 'Whether you grew up in the 1970's in the Midwest, or in another decade and another part of the country, Jeff Kozlowski's book, 'The One', appeals to all of us who have ever been a young teenager. It's a powerful story about teenage uncertainty and angst, and the emotional upheaval we all go through when we are making our choices between being cool, supporting those that love us, or being true to ourselves. Kozlowski does not lecture and does not write all about happy endings. He writes about truth the very real and colorful story of a fifteen year old boy going through 'the process'. He reminds us all just how difficult, but formative, this time was in our lives and will be in those of our children. Whether you read this novel through the eyes of a young man or a young woman, you will recognize yourself within its pages.' - Lisa
