Nancy Jooyoun Kim's mysterious tale of family secrets "What We Kept to Ourselves" follows a Korean-American family when the discovery of a dead body uproots their lives. In 1999, the Kim family — made up of parents John and Sunny, and their children, Ana and Ronald — faces upheaval when Sunny disappears without a word. When John finds a dead body in the backyard, with a note written to Sunny, questions surrounding Sunny's whereabouts begin to arise. Kim brings the narrative back to 1977, the early days of John and Sunny's relationships, chronicling the pair's struggle as immigrants fighting to make ends meet. Then Sunny's serendipitous meeting with someone at a bus stop changes the course of their lives.
