No Take Backs
Setting and Main Character
It is 1990 in Garland, Texas, a seemingly commonplace for boys and girls who are just coming-of-age. Although life for any teen is typically chaotic, Corey is learning that what should be mundane is actually more profound and more disturbing than meets the eye.
Corey's Subculture
Being a 'Skater' in Texas was already taboo and looked down upon, but this fits him, as he wants to be set apart; he wants to take his own path. In his subculture, Corey finds a world that is both blissful and tragic.
The Themes
Discover how the age of innocence can quickly become very foreboding. And find out how darkness can creep in unaware. From the mind of an introspective fifteen-year-old, you are subjected to the world as he understands it - or tries to understand it. Everything makes sense; until it doesn't.
Reader Advisory
Don't take this journey unless you are prepared to walk in the shadows of the underground world that exists right before your eyes.
