The Water Seeker

De: Kimberly Willis Holt

Narrado por: Will Patton

“When I was a boy, my pa dowsed to earn extra money when we had a lean year. And when he put the branch in my hands for the first time, I felt a burning inside me because I had the gift, too. Just be thankful I didn’t hand that gift down to you.”

Amos figured it was probably best not to tell his father that it was too late.

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.

Great Story and absolutely WONDERFUL Narrator.

This book is my kind! I loved the story and the narrator was absolutely GREAT! I am a picky reader and get bored quickly. I hated to see this book end. Thankyou to the narrator and his wonderful voice.

A wholesome coming of age story set in the early West

A Little House on the Prairie warmth accompanies the incomparable Will Patton as he brings these characters to life. As enjoyable as a peaceful evening on the front porch after a hectic day of busyness.

Very enjoyable

This was an extremely good book and wished it would continue on. I enjoyed the characters and the always EXCELLENT Will Patton reading like like he was talking to a good friend.

A WONDERFUL SURPRISE

Ms. Holt has a winner with this one! I've not called a book beautiful before, but that word fits this story. It's a beautiful blend of human character study, laugh-out-loud humor, grim life in pre-civil war America, and just a great idea! It's also a good reminder that all western life was not blazing guns, and Indian fighting. Wonderful!

Will Patton at his best!

Really enjoyed this book, the characters were great and the story sure was too. Loved that this book was so much more than the description implied.

Amazing all around.

Written beautifully and tells a story so real. It’s a story of life, love, and loss. The narration brings such life to the story. A book for all ages.

Storytelling for those who love it

This is a story of a boy. I love stories, things that are told as though they were something that I listened to from my family, and this meets that criteria. This is a good, old fashioned story of a boy's life and growing up in America. It reminds me of Mark Twain in some aspects, as it does not dwell upon the down trodden side of life, but it does not eliminate it either.

If you like simple, southern stories then you will truly enjoy The Water Seeker.

Better than McMurtry

I love McMurtry but...
Wonderful characters, realistic experiences. Refreshingly profanity-free. Narrated by the very best, Will Patton,, who can't do a bad job. I'll listen to this one again.

Great comming of age story

Story flows well to a predictable conclusion. A boy grows into a man. It’s pretty formulaic. As always Mr Patton’s performance is like dark coffee and beignets. It’s worth the money just to listen to his voice.

Pioneers

Story and character-development are excellent. I couldn't stop listening. A gentle tale of unfolding of lives and love.
