We are pleased to announce the launch of Marilynne Eichinger’s latest work, “The Water Factor, A Rightfully Mine Novel,” now available through Ingram Sparks. This eco-thriller confronts the urgent global issue of water scarcity and the moral implications of treating water as a commodity.
Set in Oregon in 2039, the novel follows James Hokama Byrne, who witnesses first-hand the rapacious tactics of Glacier Oceanside, a water cartel draining aquifers on his ancestral reservation for profit. Once a dedicated employee of the company, James’s harrowing experiences in Ethiopia and at home transform him from a complicit staff member into a fervent activist. The narrative weaves through themes of corporate greed, environmental justice, and the fight to reclassify water as a right, not a mere resource.
“The Water Factor” is enriched by Eichinger’s extensive research and collaboration. Her consultations with members of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Oregon, a Native American expert at the Smithsonian, and Ethiopian families lend authenticity and depth to the narrative, enhancing its relevance and impact.
Furthermore, the novel’s international accolades, including the 2024 International Firebird Book Award for Best Dystopian Novel, testify to its compelling narrative and impactful message. This recognition highlights the novel’s contribution to critical discussions around sustainability and corporate responsibility. Readers will find themselves entertained and educated on the complexities of water rights and the necessity of preserving such a vital resource for communities worldwide.
To amplify the reach and impact of her message, Eichinger has committed to participating in various community and literary events to discuss the themes explored in her book. These engagements are designed to foster greater awareness and mobilize community action around water conservation efforts. By purchasing “The Water Factor,” readers are not only investing in a riveting story but also contributing to a larger dialogue about ecological stewardship and social justice.
The story is an action-packed, thought-provoking exploration of the privatization of natural resources through the lens of an evocative personal and community struggle. It challenges readers to consider deeper ecological and humanitarian issues.
Marilynne Eichinger is available for discussions and speaking engagements to book clubs via Zoom.
