The 1990s were a period of dramatic change, not only in technology and culture but also in the way nations interacted with one another. As the Cold War came to an end with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a new global order emerged. The 1990s ushered in a new era of globalization, or increasing international interconnectedness among economies, cultures, and people. The development of more multinational corporations, the expanded trade agreements, and new technologies would change the face of global relations forever in a way that would shape the path of the 21st century.

The Vanishing of Emily Hart
This summer of 1993 was just like any other summer, when Riverton was tucked into a nook and far from the vision of most of the world by the shadow of the Appalachian Mountains. It was one of those places where everyone knew everyone else, where you could leave your front door open and the most action that would ever happen in town was the occasional town fair or high school football game. That summer was to be different. It would be the summer that Riverton would forever be known as the place from where Emily Hart vanished.
