A River Like Mine
Hannah Olsen-Little was only four months old when her Aunt Lucy murdered her family on Christmas Eve. Thirty years later, Hollywood reaches out to make a documentary. Unsure if she can revisit the ghosts of her past, Hannah visits her long-distance crush, Xochitl Delgado, for the chance to tell her story and soundboard her worries. As the host of a popular podcast series, Xochitl isn’t just a conveyor of true crime tales, but part of one as well.
Spanning the course of several decades, Hannah and Xochitl’s ancestral legacies unravel and intertwine in a multi-timeline, page-turning drama of chance meetings, deceit, obsession, and murder. From the unsolved death of Hannah’s uncle, to a cross-country kidnapping while Xochitl was still in her mother’s womb, only one person can make sense of the past in order to create a comforting truth in the present. But first, Hannah has to find the strength to visit her in prison before filming is set to begin.
When life is seasoned by the complexities of grief, can a comforting truth ever really exist?
