Duchess Day Radley es una joven de trece años que se autoproclama «proscrita». Las normas son para otra gente. Ella es la fiera protectora de su hermano de cinco años, Robin, y la figura adulta para Star, su madre soltera, incapaz de cuidar de sí misma y mucho menos de sus dos hijos. Walk es ahora el jefe de policía local, pero sigue intentando sanar la vieja herida de haber sido el testigo que tres décadas atrás mandó a prisión a su mejor amigo, Vincent King, que se dispone a salir de la cárcel. Y Duchess y Walk deben afrontar el problema que supondrá su vuelta. “A vibrant, engrossing, unputdownable thriller that packs a serious emotional punch. One of those rare books that surprise you along the way and then linger in your mind long after you have finished it.” 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.
