When David steps in to defend his mother, Johnny becomes critically injured.
During Johnny’s absence, the Hansen family experiences freedom from his control. Sandy navigates single motherhood and finds herself drawn to a man who introduces her to a world of love and passion.
Simultaneously, 14-year-old Lisa faces her first date with a longtime friend and neighbor, prompting the question: will their bond evolve into young love?
Upon Johnny’s return, Sandy confronts a pivotal choice: return to the all-too-familiar abuse or embrace this newfound connection, defying her oppressive past.
Set in 1975, The End is the Beginning, showcases how the women of a small town grapple with love, trauma, and the courage to rewrite their destinies in the face of adversity.
Renee’s Four Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Sandy who at thirty five thought she had the perfect life. She married her high school sweetheart despite what her parents were telling her. It isn’t very long until she wishes she had heeded her parents’warnings. Her father now refuses to help her and we take off on a journey with a super strong female character that you go on this journey along with her kids and feel like you have a front row seat to everything that is happening. This book does contain domestic violence but I loved the way it was written. I don’t want to say anything else about the story and give something away. However I would recommend this book. I really loved reading it. Once you pick it up you won’t be able to lay it down.
