I've been a lurker on your journal since a few months, and have never commented (save once) because I have no idea about the tv programs you wrote of, but this caught my interest.
Firstly, what is the Flowers in the Attic reference, please?
Secondly - and this is just my thought re. the novel insists that community is achieved through denial, restraint, and submission - what kind of community is being spoken of? In the Titanic, between Kate and Leo, they pretty much spanned almost the entire demograph (from an economic viewpoint) in terms of community. But in the novel you mention, the idea of community is .. well.. it just seems to be limited to God-fearing-American-Christians. I haven't read the novel, but from your post this is what I percieved.
