19th Annual National Indies Excellence Awards Finalist An overwhelmed new mother becomes obsessed with the unsolved disappearance of a young girl from her small Texas hometown--and unearths her own family's dark secret. It's 2011 and the decades-old case of Deecie Jeffries's disappearance in Austin, Texas, is still cold.

Until Leo, her childhood crush and her estranged twin Gus's best friend, suddenly resurfaces, drawing Bee back into their shared past. Bee's predictable life is upended, pushing her to return to her childhood home and piece together a neighborhood's shattered history.

Told from multiple perspectives and timelines, The Undercurrent is a gripping portrait of motherhood, broken family bonds, and buried secrets.
