As the sole surviving member of an ill-fated Intentional Community designed to escape world's ending plagues and convinced he is alone on earth, the boy--now a man--is determined to carry out the final wishes of his father and fulfill his stoic duties of being merely human. But when he discovers, as if by accident, that everything he's always imagined to be true is instead a lie, he decides to leave the safety of his little spinning plot of spaceship earth and go back into the world to find out what comes next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaake, Katharine:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Katharine Haake's award-winning work includes the hybrid novel \u003cem\u003eThat Water, Those Rocks\u003c\/em\u003e and three prior collections of short stories, including THE ORIGIN OF STARS and the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e best-selling, \u003cem\u003eThe Height and Depth of Everything\u003c\/em\u003e.
