We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker. Henry Holt and Company, 2020. Adult contemporary fiction.There are two kinds of families: the kind you are born into and the kind you create. Walker, Vincent, and Star have grown up in a small town in California. Walker is now the police chief, Vincent is in prison and may soon be released after thirty years, and Star, well, Star has two children, Duchess, 13, and Robin, 6. Therein starts the tale of family, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, and coming of age. Duchess is fiercely protective of her little brother who may have seen a crime. The twisty novel is realistic and pulls the reader into their lives. Not characters with whom readers are familiar, perhaps, but ones that readers will long remember. So very well written, this one reveals its secrets gradually.
