Reading by lightning

Thomas, Joan 1949- (Author).

Summary: Lily Piper and her family live in an ephemeral world, due to collapse any moment when the Lord comes to pluck His faithful from the drought-ravaged Prairies. Lily tries to be ready, but she is restless, not the daughter she feels her mother wants. In her teens, Lily is sent to England to care for her grandmother, wher she explores the delicious question of whom she might become. Experiencing life in all its ambiguity, she waits with the rest of England for World War II to start - until the news she has been dreading arrives on the doorstep.
