{"product_id":"the-ways-of-water-9781647425838","title":"The Ways of Water","description":"As Josie Belle Gore, daughter of a Louisiana train engineer and Texas seamstress, journeys with her itinerant family through the deserts of the boom-and-bust American West and revolutionary Mexico, she learns that in her life, two things are constant: water is precious, and her role in her family is to save it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen unforeseeable events force the separation of her family, Josie begins an odyssey that takes her from New Mexico's Jornada del Muerto to Bisbee, Tucson, Los Angeles, and finally post-WWI San Francisco--experiencing betrayal, pandemic, and survivor's guilt, as well as the compassion and generosity of friends and strangers, along the way. Once she lands in San Francisco, like a river meeting the sea, Josie has nowhere else to run--and she realizes that she must make peace with the past and good on her promise to the family she loves. Inspired by the author's family lore, \u003ci\u003eThe Ways of Water\u003c\/i\u003e is a lyrical tale of loss, hope, and forgiveness set in the rugged beauty of the turn-of-the-century Southwest that, like Josie, is growing up in fits and starts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15838658\"\u003eTeresa H.
