The two major themes of Lost Boys dovetail: The corporate world has a deleterious effect on family life, separating the corporate parent from family life in a world where two parent families are not only an ideal but a necessity. Religious faith is also a necessity in building a stable family life. DeAnne and Step Fletcher are conscientious parents, aware of their children's physical, psychological, and spiritual needs.
They are also good mates, respectful of one another's needs and views. Step wants desperately to provide a safe and comfortable life for his family.
