The Water Seeker


The Water Seeker

The Water Seeker by Kimberly Willis Holt


Summary: What would you do if you knew you had a special gift—a sixth sense—that was passed down from one generation to the next? A gift that could help people in times of need, but one your father often saw as a trap. Would you use that gift? This is the story of Amos Kincaid, the dowser’s son.


Thoughts: A dowser is someone who can use a branch or divining rod to find water underground.  Dowsing is very much in the background of this story.  Amos is moved around a lot and switches home and is followed by the spirit of his mother.  This story is more about Amos and his situations than it is about dowsing.  Regardless, this is a good historical fiction novel that I would recommend.
