Waiting for Armageddon: A Twinoir

By Michele Mansour and Maryam Mansour

A prophetic, humorous, and uplifting memoir!

Waiting for Armageddon—A Twinoir is a memoir about our family and the upheaval that occurs when our mother decides to illegally home-school in 1970’s Washington, D.C. A recently widowed, well-educated, and free-spirited mother of eight, her stance against “the System” sends our family on an adventure and tests our faith in ways we never could have imagined. From court-case to foster-care to the highs and lows of life on the lam in New York City, it’s Auntie Mame meets Miracle on 34th Street meets Captain Fantastic.
