About A Feather on the Water by Lindsay Jayne Ashford

Set in Germany just weeks after the end of World War II, this historical novel follows Martha, Kitty, and Delphine, three women who come from different parts of the world to work at a displaced-persons camp. Together, they are responsible for more than two thousand residents as they try to help survivors rebuild their lives.

Each woman arrives carrying a personal loss or troubled past: Martha seeks escape from a violent marriage, Kitty hopes to find her parents, and Delphine is searching for meaning after losing her husband and son in Dachau. Their work and growing reliance on one another shape a story of survival, healing, and the search for hope in postwar Europe.
