In both The Chosen and My Name Is Asher Lee youngsters from religious backgrounds partially break away from their families and communities in pursuit of secular goals. In Davita Harp however, the pattern reversed here religion is the forbidden...
...Crimson as a major source of funding for the Forum (and identified in the magazine's acknowledgements only by his administrative title, Dean for Undergraduate Education).
