Long-time family residents of a small midwest town, the Hendersons struggle with such difficulties as father Jeff's fears for his family's safety, mother Amy's stir-crazy certainty that God meant more for her life, son Will's perplexity over fifth grade, and daughter Emily's determination to be homecoming queen. By the author of The Almost True Story of Ryan Fisher. Original.

One week from tomorrow, at precisely 6:11 in the morning, the rapture or apocalypse or Armageddon or whatever else it is you'd prefer to call it, is going to occur. But only in Goodland, Kansas.
Stuck in the middle is the Henderson family: Jeff, a struggling salesman who lives with a nagging fear that something will happen to his family; Will, who's just trying to figure out life in the fifth grade; Emily, whose greatest concern is that she won't be nominated homecoming queen; and his Amy, who is growing stir-crazy from being a housewife for eighteen years--and is convinced this was God's plan B for her life.
The Hendersons are longtime residents of Goodland, Kansas, a small Midwest town where nothing new or exciting ever happens â ¦ until now. Are the recent happenings and catastrophic weather mere coincidence, or more? The town spirals into chaos and confusion as its residents discover the end is no longer near--the end is now.
Rob Stennett's second novel is both a satire and a story of the apocalypse, a thriller and an exploration of family, community, belief, unbelief, and the two thousand-year-old Christian tradition of looking to the sky because the end is near.
