The Where The Crawdads Sing true story is different from the movie, but its real-life inspiration is too similar to ignore. The 2022 movie adapted Delia Owens’ best-selling 2018 novel of the same name, where protagonist Kya (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is accused of killing her abusive ex-boyfriend, Chase Andrews. While fictional, Where The Crawdads Sing had a connection to Owens’ real life. Kya is a young girl living in the North Carolina who is forced to raise herself from a young age. Although she is completely ostracized by the town, she gains the attention of two men, Tate and Chase.
