Lilith, at the show in George, proved to be a safe, sacred spot. Here were teenage girls in cutoff jeans and bikini tops, middle-aged moms in baggy T shirts and running shoes.

Overwhelmed, the college student cut off contact. "I can't live in your world," he wrote, "and you can't live in mine." On one filmmaking trip, he summoned up his courage and asked a caseworker how the cutoff had affected Charles. "He felt it was the end for my father," Lachenmeyer admits sadly. "They knew I was the most important person in his life...
