Our Little World
July 1985. It’s a typical small-town summer day when the unthinkable happens: A neighborhood girl goes missing. Tensions boil among locals, but nowhere more so than in the Kocsis household, where twelve-year-old Bee and her sister Audrina’s already-fraught relationship is pushed to the limit. What happens next will mark the rest of their lives.
