Why Water Bearers Exist - To Help You.
Water Bearers exists to get Bones Beneath the Prairie into the care of ministries, shelters, safe homes, and recovery programs already walking alongside women in crisis. This is not a bulk donation warehouse or a complicated nonprofit pipeline. It is a direct-to-you Amazon delivery model that lets donors send exactly what you request, when you need it, without delay or overhead.
One book can be the moment she realizes she isn’t alone.
Why This Book?
You serve women who are living through the unspoken places—violence, coercion, manipulation, silence, spiritual confusion, and the long shadow of shame. You sit with them in rooms where truth has been stolen and language has been twisted. You listen through tears, through numbness, through fear. And you do it without applause or spotlight.
This program exists to place a single, powerful resource into your hands—Bones Beneath the Prairie—a book that has helped countless women finally name what happened to them, understand it clearly, and take the first step toward freedom.
It is a witness.
It is language.
It is clarity.
It is light.
For many women, that book becomes the moment they realize they are not crazy, not alone, and not forgotten. Some have said, quietly and without exaggeration, “This book could save a life.”
Why This Gift Matters.
Hidden crisis walks through your doors every day—women carrying stories they cannot yet name. Some have survived years of coercion, emotional manipulation, spiritual distortion, or outright violence. Others arrive shocked, numb, or convinced the harm they endured was their fault. Most do not have the words for what happened to them. Many will never ask for help.
This is where Bones Beneath the Prairie becomes more than a book.
It gives language to the woman who has never spoken her story.
It gives clarity to the woman who only knows something is wrong.
It gives courage to the woman who has believed she is alone.
It gives hope to the woman who cannot yet imagine freedom.
More than one survivor has said, “This book could save a life.”
We believe them.
A Water Bearer sends a single copy—quietly, privately, without fanfare—straight into your hands so that you can place it into hers at the exact moment she is ready to receive it. One book. One story. One spark of recognition that may become the first step toward safety, truth, and healing.
Your ministry does the sacred work.
Our donors simply place a tool of truth into your hands.

The Book That Started the Movement
A Memoir of Narcissistic Abuse, Domestic Violence, and a Woman’s God-Led Return to Freedom
Bones Beneath the Prairie was never written to entertain—it was written because I could no longer stay silent.
It came out of the long ache of survival, out of the years when I had no language for what was happening to me, out of the quiet places where God kept nudging me to tell the truth so another woman would know she wasn’t losing her mind.
This book is the witness I never had when I was drowning—page after page of ground-level honesty, the kind that refuses to dress up trauma with tidy answers or polite Christian phrasing.
It shows what silence costs.
It shows what survival asks of a woman.
And it shows how God can gather the shards of a life and breathe something new through them.
Women read it and say, “I saw myself on those pages.”
They read it and whisper, “I’m not crazy… I’m not alone.”
They read it and understand—sometimes for the first time—that the way out begins with naming what really happened.
This story has become a lantern for thousands of women who are still in the dark.
And it is the heartbeat of the Water Bearers movement, because every woman who picks up this book and sees her own story reflected back begins to walk toward light.
That’s why the book matters.
Not because it’s mine.
But because when a survivor hears truth spoken without fear, something inside her begins to live again.
