There are two kinds of families: the ones we are born into, and the ones we create for ourselves . . .
Chris Whitaker has written with We Begin at the End an extraordinary novel about people who deserve so much more than life serves them. At times devastating, with flashes of humour and hope throughout, it is ultimately an inspiring tale of how the human spirit prevails, and how (in the end) love, in all its various guises, wins.
"Powered by extraordinarily deep character development and an impressively intricate plot, this novel is simultaneously a murder mystery, a love story, and a heartbreaking tragedy. The existential agony is palpable throughout, but so, too, is the hope at the end.” -- Publishers Weekly
