Amanda White (Left Behind)

Template:Spoiler In the fictional Left Behind universe created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, Amanda White was a friend of Rayford's first wife Irene, who was Raptured. Amanda and Irene met at New Hope Church, and quickly became friends. After the Rapture, Bruce Barnes introduced Rayford to Amanda. Soon, they became engaged (on the same day Buck and Chloe were engaged) and were married (also on the same day as Buck and Chloe).

The couple moved to New Babylon so that Rayford could continue his piloting duties for Nicolae Carpathia. When the Wrath of the Lamb earthquake occurred, she was on a flight from Boston to Baghdad. The pilot tried to land, but the wreckage from the earthquake made that impossible. The pilot was forced back into the air.

However, the plane had almost no fuel and little speed, and therefore crashed into the Tigris River. Rayford was frantic for months after the quake because he did not believe she was dead. Eventually he SCUBA dived to the wreckage with Mac McCullum, where they finally found Amanda's body. Carpathia had planted information that Amanda was working against the Tribulation Force, and this was further evidenced by interaction by computer between him and Amanda. However, Hattie Durham eventually reveals that this was all a plant.
