Nancy Cooper has spent her life carrying burdens far too heavy for a child. At the tender age of 15, she becomes her siblings' caregiver, navigating a world shaped by her parents' neglect and alcoholism. Survival depends on her sharp instincts and the rare kindness of strangers.
Then, in the summer of 1966, everything changes. Nancy's mother, Marie, vanishes-only to be discovered weeks later in the home of a reclusive man named Earl Simmonds. But Marie's return is no reunion; instead, it sets off a devastating chain of events that fractures the family beyond repair.
It takes eight years for Nancy to uncover the deeply buried secrets that shaped her childhood-truths of murder, betrayal, loss, and disloyalty. Some scars fade with time, but others refuse to heal.
A Feather on Every Wind is a haunting exploration of heartbreak and resilience, reminding us that some family secrets are better left undiscovered.
