(3) YA Following the death of his soldier brother, David's grief-stricken parents have turned to religion--specifically a fundamentalist cult--for solace. His recovering-alcoholic father speaks only in Bible verses; his mother is fixated on the upcoming Rapture, or Rush. When his parents disappear, David must untangle the mystery. Chapter flashbacks to "Before the Rush" alternate with "Now" in this nuanced study of relationships, religion, and faith.
