For the Mercy of Water | Karen Jayes
"In a country gripped by drought, water has become the priceless commodity over which a deadly war is being waged. ... When an unexpected rain leads a group of water security guards to a town long since thought abandoned, they find an old woman ... and a group of girls in a classroom. A journalist, two aid workers and a doctor arrive soon afterwards, and what they discover there defies ordinary explanation."--Back cover.
