Duchess Day Radley is a thirteen year old from a dysfunctional home; her mother Star is a troubled soul and Duchess basically shoulders the care of her younger brother Robin. Duchess has no idea who her or Robin's father is - her mother isn't forthcoming with the information. She does however know that on her mother's side, there was once an outlaw - so Duchess believes herself to be one too. She constantly gets in to fights, is rude and unlikeable and makes poor decisions a lot.
Star Radley's sister was killed when she was little, and Star has never got over it.
Vincent King is about to be released from prison, after serving time for the killing of a little girl. He is the ex-boyfriend of Star and was best friends with Walk for years.
Chief Walker (Walk) is the police chief of Cape Haven and was Vincent's best friend. He has spent his life looking out for Star and her children, and now wants to make sure Vincent can come home and live peacefully having served his time.
We Begin At The End is a story of how split second decisions or actions can have far reaching consequences and send ripples far and wide. It is about how far we would go in order to protect our loved ones, no matter the cost to ourselves. A recommended read.
(As a side note, some of the quotes describe this as a thriller - I wouldn't - it is beautifully written character study, with some threads of crime throughout.)
