Water Girl: Miracle in Mexico (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798491868452)

Anna's family lives in the desert, but their farm and their crops are thriving. That's because City Creek runs right through their property. It's Anna's job to keep the chickens, pigs, cows, and horses watered. It's hard work for a little girl to carry the bucket of water back and forth from the creek to the animal pens every day, but Mama says without water they would die, Anna loves the animals so she's willing to work. Mama says they are more blessed than most other families in the Salt Lake valley because their water comes right to them. But now Papa says President Taylor wants their family to move to Mexico and pioneer new colonies. They have to sell their farm, but Mama says they'll get land and start a new one. When Anna asks if water will come right to their new farm, Mama just smiles and says, "God will provide." When they get to Mexico things are worse than Anna imagined. The river is barely a trickle. Even the nights are hot. Their crops and animals are dying. They need a miracle!

This children's book is a true story told through the eyes of Anna Amelia Pratt, the daughter of Helaman Pratt, and the mother of George Romney, one-time candidate for US President.
