...blinkered urbanism, which - try as she might to appear like a regular 'Merican - naggingly resurfaces every few pages, reminding us that she has lived nearly all her life in the Northeast and much of it in Manhattan. She writes: "Environmentalists' energy plan is the repudiation of America and Christian destiny, which is Jet Skis, steak on the electric grill, hot showers, and night skiing." Only someone who has virtually never lived more than 100 miles from the East Coast could concoct a list of such suburban Americana. (For that matter, who anywhere cooks steak on an electric grill?) The book...
...would be suspicious to drop the methamphetamine aspect, but it would be silly in the context of my book to mention every detail of how Ashley Smith dealt with a hardened killer from whom she was fighting for her life. What transformed her kidnapper was not meth, but Christian love...
