The Last Days Of California by Mary Miller
A thirteen-year-old girl narrates a tense, often comic family road trip from the Deep South to California as her evangelical father prepares the household for the Rapture; along the highways she records prayers, arguments, humiliations and small rebellions, witnessing the strains of religious fervor on family life while grappling with her own sexual awakening, doubts, and longing for independence — a coming-of-age portrait of belief, family conflict, and the messy, heartbreaking collisions between doctrine and ordinary desire.
