Praise

Watershed has all the makings of a social thriller. Everett keeps the storytelling terse and intense, while at the same time broadening the scope of the book, moving into the history of US Indian treaty making and into the science behind the search for water and the pathos of reservation life. In this novel about water and the struggle for a life free of injustice, the mix doesn’t just work, it flows.”
—Alan Cheuse, NPR

“Precise and important, Watershed is a book about honesty, and how to live with dignity in the presence of betrayal. It is a story we need; it contains a code of action for the present and unfortunately for the near future. It is mercifully funny, as well.”
—Rick Bass, author of Where the Sea Used to Be
