Book
Apocalypse child : surviving doomsday and the search for identity at the end of the world / Carly Butler.
'Apocalypse Child' is a startling memoir about growing up in a tumultuous home, coming of age in isolation, and trying to figure out how to connect as an adult when your education has consisted of conspiracy theories, survivalist measures, and religious doctrine. From doomsday preparation and ideologies of purity and paranoia to motherhood and explorations of a burgeoning queer, Mexican-Indigenous identity, Butler takes us on a gripping journey of resilience, self-discovery, and searching for community.
