A crippling drought has engulfed the Gila Valley in Arizona, the hope of the area's ranchers wasting away. As World War I rages in Europe, two families -- one Texan, the other Mormon -- develop an embattled but gripping relationship as their opposing cultures dramatically collide.
Power's Garden takes us back in time to 1917 with the culture clash of Mormons and Texans in the Gila Valley of Arizona. Texan Duett Brennick comes to work for the Mormon Beecham family with dramatic consequences.
Excerpt
"Where was the war for this town? In the Propaganda films at Gilpin's Theater in Safford? In two wheatless days, two porkless days and a sheaf of Liberty Bonds? Other people and other place had far more at stake than what was visible within Pima's sheltered boundaries. Until Nephi had disappeared, it had been that way for Mellie, too."

Power's Garden takes us back in time to 1917 with vivid imagery, heartfelt emotion and rich historical detail. The Texan Brennicks and Mormon Beechams become so real in our minds and hearts that we wish they could step off the pages and tell us what happens next! Captivating and an excellent read! --Jennifer Steele Christensen, Utah Public Radio, Deseret News Correspondent
