"Rebecca Ruth would rather see Armageddon than face her life."

In Kalispell, Montana, Dr. Evangeline Monica Sixkiller-Collins Collins, or Dr. Six as she is commonly known, runs a small general practice with her trusted physician’s assistant, Norma. Dr. Six is happily married with three children: Travis, Madison, and baby Alex. But her pleasant life is soon put into a tailspin when an unusual patient enters her life. Rebecca Ruth Seer is a modern-day prophet with problems. Because of the urgency of Seer’s medical condition, Dr. Six and Seer’s husband, Albert, go to extraordinary means to get her treatment. The problem is that Seer has predicted the end of the world, and her compound is surrounded by seekers and members of the media awaiting Armageddon. Seer’s unstable condition pushes her to the brink of madness, making it perilous for Dr. Six to treat her.

The sassy and fearless Dr. Six is a protagonist that draws readers into this fast-paced plot and the bizarre world of Rebecca Ruth Seer. Written in the first person, the narrative reveals the points of view of both Dr. Six and Seer. Moments of intense tension are interspersed with an almost madcap brand of humor. As Dr. Six digs deeper into the diagnosis of Seer’s illness, it becomes apparent that all is not what it seems—at least not in the life of Seer. The truth unfolds in an attempt to save Seer from her own delusions. The plot takes a bizarre turn when Dr. Six approaches Seer at her home in an unorthodox house call. This is a fun and enjoyable read filled with surprises throughout. It's a rollercoaster of a ride.
