A crime thriller that will break your heart and a literary novel with a mystery at its core, Chris Whitaker's We Begin at the End unforgettably examines how the choices we make can nudge us into the dangerous ground between good and evil.
For some people, trouble just finds them . . .
Thirty years ago, a teenage Vincent King was sent to prison. But he’s served his sentence and is returning to his hometown. His childhood best friend, Walk, is now the chief of police. His childhood sweetheart, Star Radley, still lives there. The same Star Radley whose sister he killed.
Thirteen-year-old Duchess is a self-proclaimed outlaw. She needs to be. Who else is going to take care of her and her five-year-old brother? Certainly not her mother, Star. But when Duchess exacts her own vigilante revenge, she will set into motion a series of events that threatens not only her own family but everyone she’s ever cared about.
