Available now: Drips of Hope

In the near future, with water running out and large swaths of land turning into desert, the Bureau of Reclamation has turned to helping communities relocate. Thorn, a long-term employee of the Bureau, is tasked with moving a Santa Fe neighborhood. It should be an easy task, except for one small issue: the community flat-out refuses to relocate. If Thorn can’t convince them to find a new home, none of them will survive for long, but how can she convince them to leave the place they’ve called home for generations?
