Abigail's family, newly arrived in San Francisco from North Carolina, prays for ascension in the Rapture. When the world doesn't end, her parents choose to live in their van while awaiting divine guidance, testing Abigail's faith in God and family. This debut novel's depiction of a middle-class, suburban family's transition to life on the streets sensitively explores family, sacrifice, and everyday faith.
