From Wikipedia:

In 1957, Charlotte is diagnosed with cancer. Willard believes he can influence God with fervent prayer to remove cancer from his wife's body. He prays to God and sacrifices Arvin's dog, kneeling before a rustic cross he had erected in the woods behind his house. Nevertheless, Charlotte dies and Willard commits suicide. Arvin, now orphaned, goes to live with his grandmother Emma, where he meets Lenora, who becomes his adopted "stepsister".

From the same article:

Eliza Scanlen as Lenora Laferty, Arvin's adopted "step sister;" she is Roy and Helen's daughter who was adopted by Emma.
