A book I read once

Wait, this just came to me!

So back in the Christian school, I read this book series that desperately wanted to be as subtle as Narnia. It was about the nuclear apocalypse, and a handful of preteens/teens from across America were sealed in stasis pods until it was over so that they could emerge as the last pure humans and saviors of the world. For some reason. *shrug*

Anyway, there was this one plot line where they meet a matriarchal society. Everyone is unhappy because the women have to be in charge, and the men feel emasculated. And I think maybe there was a rebellion because these men secretly knew their real purpose, and so did the women let's be honest here. And so it's up to these kids to restore the peace by teaching these people that a man's place is to lead, and a woman's place is in the kitchen. And the plotline ends with the matriarch and her husband gazing at each other in awe as they realize they've been doing it wrong this whole time.

And thus, the proper order is restore, and they all lived happily ever after.
