Water Witches

In Chris Bohjalian's Water Witches, Patience Avery, a talented dowser, faces the challenges of a severe drought in Vermont while she seeks to locate water sources that are desperately needed. As her brother-in-law, Scottie Winston, navigates a moral crisis related to expanding a ski resort's water usage from a fragile river, tensions rise between environmental concerns and the pressures from developers and family. This 25th Anniversary Edition highlights themes of environmentalism and ethical dilemmas that resonate powerfully in today's world.
