About A Righteous Wind: Kim and Shelton, are left behind. Kim’s husband and young son, along with Shelton’s wife, and millions of others, have vanished without a trace. Is it the weather? Or some other fluke of nature or science. All signs point to the Biblical Rapture, but Kim and Shelton weren’t buying that. They join forces to come up with a reasonable explanation.
