In 1900, Omaha, Nebraska, the world revolves around Henry Taylor. His wife, Rachel and daughter, Tess, are just plain tired of it. NO GOING BACK follows Henry Taylor

wife, Rachel, ran off to Nevada with a gambling man and he believes his twelve year old daughter, Tess, ran away four days later to find them. In Cheyenne, Wyoming he meets up with silver-toungued Joshua Baker, a

The story also
follows Rachel and Tess as they each face agonizing hardships but also find true integrity in others.
For Rachel, it's in Janey Walker, a wise and gracious woman in her fifties.
For Tess, it's the Cole's, a family full of love and spirit. Day by day, mother and daughter unconsciously
experience each other's emotions, keeping them close at heart until they find
their way back to each other. NO GOING BACK explores Native American life
from a distinct perspective. It looks at organized religion, from the practical and honorable to the misuse and disgrace that can occur within it. This book also addresses
issues around the chain of destructive behaviors passed down through generations and demonstrates the common thread between many oppressive situations...
be it an abusive relationship, a religious cult or any form of bigotry. In essence, it
sends the message that arrogance is ignorance.
