The Earth Is Flat?! And Other Things My Mother Taught Me: How a childhood in the evangelical church became an adulthood in conspiracy theories - Paperback
by Susan Huckle (Author)
Susan Huckle is your typical homeschooled '90s kid in an End Times-obsessed Pentecostal Christian church on California's central coast. She's ready for the Rapture (any day now!) but wonders why God hasn't healed her dad yet from a paralyzing stroke. After Susan moves to L.A. to pursue her acting dreams, her doubts grow while her mother descends into YouTube's conspiracy theory hellscape (9/11, mass shootings, the Flashlight app?).
When Mom declares she's a flat earther, this calls into question everything she ever taught, and Susan falls over the edge into an ideological and identity tailspin. Can a family that lives in two differently shaped worlds remain a family?
