Before we reach the end

This novel follows young tenacious Sybil as she navigates her traumatic past, and tumultuous present. Beginning in 1989 Tucson, AZ, Sybil contemplates her identity as a daughter through the lens of a motherless child. The story transitions to her present adolescence where she challenges her expectations of herself, as well as her role as a sister, friend, and daughter. Through her humorous voice which counteracts the overwhelming grief she experiences, we learn about love and loss, friendships and relationships, and the blurring of in-between moments where every end is a beginning, and every beginning, an end.
