Dierdre's only grandchild Paul earns $16,000 a year working at a lumberyard in Portland, Ore. His wife Karen brings in an additional $6,000 as a part-time secretary. Since they cannot afford a house, they rent a two-bedroom apartment for $500 a month, where they raise their three-year-old daughter. They too have a ritual.

...trick is to suggest this possibility with precision and economy. The Child in Time does so brilliantly, from the moment Stephen Lewis realizes his three-year-old daughter is missing from a supermarket check-out: "The lost child was everyone's property. But Stephen was alone. He looked through and beyond the kindly faces pressing in. They were irrelevant. Their voices did not reach him, they were impediments to his field of vision. They were blocking his view of Kate. He had to swim through them, push them aside to get to her. He had no air, he could...
