Android FragmentActivity not returning to previous

Question
I have 3 fragment activities: home screen, a news feed, and an article view. Clicking the button on the home screen opens the news feed, clicking an article in the news feed opens the article view. But when I click the "Back" button in the article view, it returns to the home screen.
Is there any reason it would be skipping the previous activity? How do I make sure it goes back to the calling activity rather than the home screen?
Solution
I fixed the problem by adding android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true"
to the activities that opened the article.
I think the issue was that the activity was getting destroyed when I switched to the article activity and when it tried to go back there was nothing there.
