About this ebook
In a drought-stricken Central Valley town, emergency water cuts collide with rent hikes, farm labor routes, family debt, and the senior water rights protecting Mara's own family's orchard. Farmworker organizer Lucia Reyes refuses to let the county call displacement a neutral result. As buried planning layers expose the true cost of the official plan, Mara must decide whether to protect her position and her father’s land or place the full record before the town.
A Season of Open Water is an adult contemporary environmental drama about scarcity, inheritance, public duty, and love tested by honest disagreement. With the summer deadline closing in, Mara has one chance to make loss visible before the people with the least power are asked to carry it alone.
