A Perfect Snow
Nora Martin
Ben Campbell, 17, is angry. Angry at having to live
in a broken-down trailer park. Angry that his unemployed dad isn't
a respected ranch boss any more. Angry at having to defend his
exasperating younger brother, David. Most of all, angry at the
rich kids at school who seem to get away with everything. Only
when he's out with Chuck and Travis, burning a Jew lawyer's car or
shooting up a synagogue, does he feel powerful and in control
again.
It was his dad who got them all going to the
meetings of the Guardians of the Identity, where Lonn explained
how all their troubles were because of the Jews and the blacks and
the homosexuals, and how they had to keep those people from moving
into their little Montana town. Ben knows that isn't right, but
still, he needs to feel that power. But when he falls in love with
Eden Taylor he knows he wants to move beyond Lonn's ideas, and
when David gets involved in his place, Ben realizes he must take a
stand.
