From the Inside Flap
"My family has practiced the end of the world more than most," begins this novel, told in the voices of three generations of the spirited MacKenzies -- a nuclear family who still fights the Cold War on the home front. Publishers Weekly welcomed this novel:"Narrated in the perfectly cadenced voices of nine different members of the clan (including kid's eye views of two grandchildren), Peterson's bittersweet and utterly beguiling novel looks back at the MacKenzies during the fallout-shelter, duck-and-cover air-raid days of the Cold War 50s."It takes a nuclear family to live in our nuclear age," observes one of the grandchildren's teachers. So the endearing, abiding MacKenzie kids prove."
