In this picaresque memoir-a dark and divine comedy of family and faith-acclaimed novelist and nature writer, Brenda Peterson, embraces this earthly life while her relatives prepare fervently to leave it. As a wild, rather odd, and unknowingly subversive child, she survives fierce sword drill competitions over total recall of the Scriptures and awkward dinner table questions-Will Rapture take the cat, too? Peterson paints such a hilarious and tender portrait that the reader, too, may want to be left behind. The memoir was selected by independent booksellers as a Great Read and an Indie Next. Chosen as a Top Ten Best Non-fiction Book of the Year by Christian Science Monitor, I Want to Be Left Behind celebrates what the Los Angeles Times calls her rich and often lovely life-full of humor and Peterson's own brand of faith.
