Start at the Beginning

By Judy Mollen Walters

Sarah Lyons is eight months pregnant in 1994 when she moves into her new neighborhood, eager to make friends. When Robin Daniels, a neighbor down the street, shows up with a plate of cookies and a tearful face, Sarah can't help but be drawn to her immediately.Though Robin is infertile and Sarah is pregnant, they bond right away. For the first time in her life, Sarah has a best friend other than her mother, and everything else she could ever desire: a hard-working husband and beautiful new daughter. But then Robin wants something from Sarah that Sarah isn't sure she can give, and that creates a secret that could wind up destroying not one, but two families.In 2015 Sarah and her family have moved a half hour's drive - but seemingly a world away - from Robin and the neighborhood and the friendship they once shared. Late one night, unable to sleep, Sarah goes looking for Robin but finds only the unexpected. What happened to Robin? And who knows the secret now? Does Sarah have an obligation to reveal it, or should it lie within her forever? She takes a good look at the life she leads - lonely, a distant husband, a daughter on the other side of the country--and wonders what she should do with the emptiness she feels. In this moving novel about love, loss, friendship, and hope, START AT THE BEGINNING considers the idea that what defines a relationship may vary from one person to another and that the way we see things may not always reflect their reality.
