One late autumn evening in a Texas town, two strangers walk into an ice cream shop shortly before closing time. They bind up the three teenage girls who are working the counter, set fire to the shop, and disappear. See How Small tells the stories of the survivors - family, witnesses, and suspects - who must endure in the wake of atrocity. Justice remains elusive in their world, human connection tenuous. Hovering above the aftermath of their deaths are the three girls.

The complexity of parenting in trauma
Revisado: 01-28-15
If you could sum up See How Small in three words, what would they be?
poignant, nostalgia, loss
Have you listened to any of Rengin Altay’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Rengin is a wonderful reader. She has a lyrical, emotive, yet even voice.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did cry. The book brought back many memories for me of life in Austin, Tx in the 90s. The yogurt shop murders were such a shock to the whole town. Austin, Tx suffered diminished innocence during that time. It was the start of Austin becoming a city and less of a town.
Any additional comments?
Scott Blackwood grounds the story of loss and trauma through the details of everyday life. He reminds us that despite dramatic event in our lives, we must find a way to keep living and dealing with the minutiae of parenting and everyday life, to keep showing up for our loved ones who are still alive and our loved ones who have passed. "See how small a thing it is that keeps us apart."
