Publisher's Note A stand-up comedian who was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness describes how her childhood was haunted by perpetual doomsday prophecies about an imminent apocalypse in which her non-believing neighbors and schoolmates were doomed; in a darkly whimsical account that also remembers how most aspects of pop culture were demonized.
Industry Reviews "Abrahams is a natural writer whose prose flows effortlessly as she easily mixes throwaway humor and painful memories in a compelling narrative." (starred review) (03/01/2009)
