NEVER LOOK BACK

is the author's first book. It is a fictionalized memoir, most of which is based on actual events in her life, and which has been riddled with tragedies, abuse, and crime against her family as well as extreme crime against two of her daughters and against her mother who was murdered. Her husband dies in the end -- the crowning blow to her character, Marion Whitehead; however, Marion re-structures her life and enters the music business again as a virtuoso soloist and chamber ensemble musician, primarily after thirty years in retirement due to her latent guilt relative to her daughter's being kidnapped while Marion was on her concert tour.
