This story is set in Bethlehem, 2002 years ago. It is about the lives of seven people who are in the city the day Christ was born. The story ends by giving a plausible reason why there was no room in the Inn. The reason should hit most of us hard. 
A young boy, Caleb, the son of the InnKeeper, is expelled from the rabbinical seminary for his sensitivity after the death of his best friend's brother. He's angry with God for allowing the death and tells him so. 
A Roman soldier's wife and family are saved from death's door after his integrity is tested over time. 
Leah, Caleb's fiancé, unwittingly strips herself of the outward signs of her virginity and purity and finds herself helping Mary give birth to a baby in her stall. 
Caleb is asked to recite a prayer over the newborn. Reluctantly, he does so, giving away the prayer he was saving for his own son, as a bright star finds its way to the Inn. 
The InnKeeper tells his wife why he let an empty room remain empty while a baby lay in a manger outside. 
An old man looks on, missing nothing.

Point of No Return shows the world through the eyes of a war correspondent, visiting places that are rarely covered by the mainstream media, offering provocative points of view about the pitiful state of today's world, its disparities and scandalous post-colonial arrangement - including global market fundamentalism and neo-conservative culture that are overthrowing democratic principals that humanity has fought for over the centuries. The narrator of Point of No Return struggles to document many of these crises and scandals, all the while trying to sort out his complicated life - including his love for a possibly unreachable woman, and the level of his personal involvement in the stories he covers. By the end of the novel, he has gone all the way, in his personal, professional, and political life as well. This global novel vividly describes reality, the state of the world, and the grievances and hopes of people the world over.
