About this listen

In this "bittersweet and utterly beguiling novel" (Publishers Weekly) each of the MacKenzie family tells their stories in nine, wildly opposed points of view. Starting at a family reunion, three generations of the MacKenzies face off against each other. They discover that terrorism is as intimate as one's own family. Selected as a New York Times "Notable Book of the Year", Duck and Cover is a "wicked black comedy" of a family who fights their wars "on the home front." As one of the MacKenzie children says, "The way nuclear families are put together, it just makes sense they would explode."

Brenda Peterson is the author of 17 books, including her first memoir, Build Me an Ark: A Life With Animals, which was chosen as a Best Spiritual Book of the Year. The author reads another memoir, I Want to Be Left Behind: Finding Rapture Here on Earth. It was chosen as an Indie Next Best Top Read and named among the Top Ten Best Non-Fiction Books of 2010 by The Christian Science Monitor. Peterson lives on the Salish Sea in Seattle, Washington.
