Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Photographer's caption reads, "Kevin's terrible violation came within an inch of shattering the family. His wife Julie and daughter Sabrina edged up to telling me what had happened, but backed away at the last moment. I got the feeling it was something sexual. I don't push; it's not my business. In their moment of crisis, the family renewed its religious vows. They took Bibles in hand the first weekend after the New Year and pursued a resolution they thought would save them - preaching every Sunday to the most abject, most hopeless, most miserable lost souls they could find. Naturally, they came to Hollywood. They were convinced that Jesus was the answer, the answer to something. Kevin was fervent, driven, almost desperate."
