Water Finds Its Path

America is dried up. The drought of the century has taken its toll. Now hordes of people travel from town to town in search of water. But towns are not just opening their gates and sharing their water with anybody.

Foley and Anna are journeying across the country on a solar-powered roller crammed with other displaced, desperate people. Their marriage a week ago was for show, not romance. Towns prefer couples. But finding a new home is looking unlikely. Until they meet Chloe.

Chloe is a dowser. She’s a fortune teller with a set of dowsing rods and the gift of discovering where people belong. She tells Foley and Anna that they belong in Talbot. But two vacancies have just opened up in Bailey. And things aren’t getting any easier when an obnoxious passenger demands to be part of their plans

In Water Finds Its Path, Robert Lowell Russell gives voice to the anxiety that plagues us all: where do I belong in this world and how do I get there? This story will take you on a harrowing journey through a dry, decaying wasteland and leave you gasping for a tall, cool drink of water.
