In this, the Further Adventures Along the Road Without End, we fast forward from where the story left off in 1983, to Vancouver, BC, in 1988. Warren Givens has completed his second jail sentence four years previous, after which he's vowed to lay low and stay clean so there's no return to "Clown-College," as he calls it.
A chance meeting at a pub one night introduces us to Daryl Kellerman, at first as Givens' one night stand, which quickly develops into a love and live-in relationship between them.
Warren's distant past comes front-and-centre in the form of his birth mother, who lost him to Social Services before he was ten years old, and has been looking for him ever since.
We get to know Warren's past and what's made him the way he is.
This, along with some other drastic life changing occurrences, propel Warren into a life he never thought he would live.
Later, we get to know what life was like living with Givens through Daryl's eyes as he reminisces over the years since their initial meeting.
Last Chance Town is the third book in the Road Without End Trilogy.
Read an Exclusive Excerpt
I loved Kookum (she was my grandmother—that’s what she always told me to call her because she said Kookum meant grandmother in Cree). She always loved me and showed it. She read to me when I was kid, sang to me before I went to bed at night, told me stories of our ancestors, made chocolate chip bannock for me, and gave me lots of hugs and kisses. Mom and Kookum always had a strange relationship. They fought a lot, but when they weren’t fighting, they were like the best of friends.
I didn’t know a lot about my family, and what I did know, it was Kookum who told me. I remember Kookum telling me once that mom had run away to Edmonton from a residential school somewhere in Saskatchewan. But Kookum didn’t know that until a couple of days later when my mom called her from Edmonton. All she would tell Kookum was that she went to Edmonton because she knew she could stay with her cousin Phoebe’s family, and there were lots of places to hide, so the authorities would have a harder time finding her there.
Government men showed up at Kookum’s place a couple of times demanding to know where my mother was.
