Tim Wilson (4) (1965–)

I was interested to read this first novel by Tim Wilson, as he has a public face on our television screens as our television journalist in USA and his chosen topic was original to my reading.
Hope Paterson considers herself a 'good Christian'. Her marriage is becalmed and she is struggling in her relationship with her daughter. When she rescues a toddler from drowning, she sees this as a sign from God, that these relationships will be strengthened, renewed however within a few days their is an extraordinary world wide event - The Rapture. People and children from all walks of life are seen disappearing into the heavens, leaving behind all their earthly possessions and their now fractured families.
Hope is dismayed when she realises she didn't make the grade and nor did daughter Rachel, but where is Hope's husband Wade.
This is an interesting concept, as many Christian communities believe in the 'Rapture'. What appearance will it take and what impact will it have on those left behind?
