Water Witches by Chris Bohjalian

This author never disappoints.   He takes challenging subjects and creates a wonderful story.  Scottie is an attorney for the local ski mountain and they want to do an expansion.   Vermont is having one of the worst droughts on record, an elusive animal was spotted on the mountains and jobs are needed.  His wife and daughter are dowsers and have their own things going on as well.  The story line weaves the mysticism of dowsing,  environmental issues and personal struggle is making the right decision.  Told beautifully and very touching.
