    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In a single, breathtaking moment, the world is forever changed. 
    Millions vanish—mothers, fathers, children, entire families—leaving behind only their clothes and possessions. What remains is confusion, grief, and fear as those left behind grapple with the terrifying possibility that the prophecies of Scripture have come to pass. 
    In Birmingham, Alabama, Tom, Josh, and Sam confront a city collapsing under its own panic. Tom, whose wife and children were taken, must wrestle with heartbreak while clinging to the faint hope that God still has a plan. Josh questions everything he once believed, desperate for answers that seem out of reach. And Sam, already scarred by loss, wonders if redemption is even possible for a man like him. 
    In New York City, Jessie and Marcus face the calamity in a place where chaos spreads faster than hope. Jessie searches for meaning in a world gone silent, while Marcus—a man of God—sees the event as both judgment and calling. Determined to build a refuge for the frightened and the broken, he becomes a shepherd for the lost in a city that suddenly feels godless. 
    Though divided by distance, they are united by the same reality: they were left behind. Their only hope for survival lies in faith, trust, and a return to the God many had forgotten. 
    Separation Day is a gripping tale of loss, prophecy, and the desperate search for light in a world overshadowed by judgment.
