Stones from the River is a 1994 novel by Ursula Hegi about Trudi Montag, a dwarf woman in a fictional German town, from 1915 to the post-WWII era. As a librarian and collector of secrets, Trudi witnesses the town's reaction to the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust, exploring themes of prejudice, complicity, and the struggle between good and evil in ordinary people during extraordinary times. The novel follows her journey from an outsider to a woman who finds strength and wisdom in her unique perspective, as she learns that everyone shares secrets and struggles with their own forms of "otherness".
