Book Review: No Going Back by Jonathan Langford

Posted on November 1st, 2009 by FoxyJ

No Going Back is a new novel by Jonathan Langford that chronicles a year (or so) in the life of a Mormon teenager after he decides to come out to his mother and his best friend. Paul lives in Oregon with his mother, spends time with his best friend Chad, and in many ways seems like a typical LDS teenager. Until he tells Chad that he is same-sex attracted; Chad’s father is the bishop of their ward and provides a sympathetic ear to Paul, both in his role as bishop and as the surrogate father he has been to Paul since he and his mother moved into their ward a few years earlier.
