The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta

In a world reeling from the sudden disappearance of millions of people in an event known as the "Sudden Departure," the residents of Mapleton grapple with their altered reality and search for meaning in their lives. The story follows the Garvey family as they navigate personal and communal grief, with each member responding differently to the inexplicable loss. As the town contends with the emergence of new religious cults and societal shifts, the characters struggle to find connection and purpose amidst the chaos, exploring themes of faith, loss, and the quest for redemption in a changed world.
