The Bookcase: Evening Discussion
Thursday, September 12, 7 p.m.
This program is via Zoom. Attend from anywhere!
Join Bookcase leader Toby Zabinsky for a discussion of We Begin at the End by Chris Whittaker.
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.
Registration is required to attend. You can sign up here!
