By: Mark St. Thunderhawk

An exceptional grassroots American novel. Back to the Badlands is an American short story based on a real life experience. After earning a degree from a prestigious Big Ten University, the main character faces a hostile world and an ever-changing American society. He searches his mind and his will in an attempt to find happiness, but he soon realizes that his dreams are inherently native. He confronts the plight of the Native American Sioux Indians which might in the end be his own fate too, until he meets Mary. This book has resemblances to Graham Greene’s 1940 novel, The Power and the Glory.
