For fans of The Keeper of Stories, The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes and A Thousand Roads Home, The Beginning of Everything is the story of Jess and Gethin, whose paths cross in the most unexpected way. Jess is running, leaving all she knows and everyone she loves behind her, with just a few treasured belongings in her rucksack. She's escaping from the pain and trauma of a bad relationship with a bad man, gone very badly wrong. Gethin's kindness and care takes her breath away. They become friends. But with so much hurt in her past, can Jess learn to love and live again?
