Join us this June as our Mystery and Tuesday Book Clubs meet to discuss We Begin at the End, by Chris Whitaker.
Duchess Day Radley is a thirteen-year-old self-proclaimed outlaw. Rules are for other people. She is the fierce protector of her five-year-old brother, Robin, and the parent to her mother, Star, a single mom incapable of taking care of herself, let alone her two kids.
Walk has never left the coastal California town where he and Star grew up. He may have become the chief of police, but he’s still trying to heal the old wound of having given the testimony that sent his best friend, Vincent King, to prison decades before. And he’s in overdrive protecting Duchess and her brother.
Now, thirty years later, Vincent is being released. And Duchess and Walk must face the trouble that comes with his return. We Begin at the End is an extraordinary novel about two kinds of families—the ones we are born into and the ones we create.
Copies of the book will be available at the circulation desk. The discussion will be held at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, June 18th, at the BarrelHouse. There is a $25 fee, which will cover wine and snacks. Newcomers, as always, are welcome to join.
