In his New York Times best-selling book, Frank Schaeffer uses his life as a lens through which to view a larger narrative: the rightward lurch of American politics since the 1970s.

The central character is Schaeffer's far-from-prudish evangelical mother, who sweetly but bizarrely provides startling juxtapositions of the religious and the sensual throughout Schaeffer's childhood.

Schaeffer asks what the leading right-wingers and the paranoid fantasies of their "echo chamber" are really about. Here's a hint... sex.
