Bent Road by Lori Roy

How would you like to move with your husband and three children from urban Detroit to rural Kansas, where he grew up?  When you get there, your mother-in-law exerts control over all the family, including telling you how to cook.  The local priest assigns families pews based on their level of contribution to the church.

 In 1965, Arthur Scott moves his family from Detroit back to Kansas when his teenage daughter begins receiving phone calls from African-American boys. Celia and the two younger children have difficulty adjusting to the move.  Celia can't figure out why the family does not discuss Arthur's older sister, Evie, who died young.  Not until a local girl disappears and then is found dead does the truth come out.
  
Roy's writing is haunting, telling the story from the viewpoint of the various family members.  The inner feelings of each family member reflect the dislocation they feel at the move, and at the central mystery - what happened to Eve 25 years ago.
