"The signs are everywhere, Jory's stepfather, Caleb, says. Because of the signs, Jory's life is far from ordinary. He must follow a very specific set of rules as the end is coming or so Caleb believes. School is Jory's only escape from Caleb's tight grasp. With the help of new friends, he begins to explore a world beyond his family's farm. Then Caleb notifies the family that the time has come for final preparations: digging in their backyard canyon at night. As the hole gets deeper, so does Jory's doubt about whether Caleb's prophecy is true. When the real reason for their digging becomes clear, Jory must choose between living his own life or following behind Caleb, shutting his eyes to the bright world he's just begun to see."--From publisher.
