Those That Stayed Behind : A Novel of the Rapture and the Seven Years That Follow
Overview
The trumpet sounded. The dance floor at Kanos went quiet where Natalie and Eli used to stand. And Myrna - who heard the warnings, who kept saying later - is still here.
Hartford isn't the city it was. A man called Vale has brought "peace" - a wrist-band light that turns green for the compliant and red for everyone else, ration lines that ask for more than a signature, and a warmth on every screen that never quite blinks like a man should. Beneath a shuttered package store on Broad Street, a hidden church still gathers - Pastor Rodriguez, Sister Carmen, a dying woman's folded page of Scripture passed hand to hand - holding on to a promise the world outside has been told is a lie.
Myrna's mother is still praying over the sink. Myrna's own light is green, and steady, and not entirely her own choosing anymore. And every day the city inches toward a demand no green light can refuse: bow, or burn.
Those That Stayed Behind is the sequel to Lukewarm Girl's Last Chance - a novel of the seven-year Tribulation for readers who want their end-times fiction with teeth: the terror of being left behind, the cost of standing up when standing up gets you noticed, and the mercy that keeps showing up in a world built to erase it.
If you've ever said "later" to Jesus - this book is for you too.
