Is Where The Crawdads Sing A True Story

Where The Crawdads Sing is not a true story but instead is based on the best-selling book of the same name by Delia Owens, published in 2018 . The book tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community.
