Book Description.

One of the most well-known and loved stories of Jesus’s ministry is the encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. Now the creative mind of Diana Wallis Taylor imagines how the Samaritan woman got there in the first place. Marah is just a girl of thirteen when her life is set on a path that will eventually lead her to a life-changing encounter with the Messiah. But before that momentous meeting she must traverse through times of love lost and found, cruel and manipulative men, and gossiping women.

Review.

“This story has been waiting two thousand years to be told. It is a beautiful love story background for one of the classic New Testament passages, “The Woman at the Well”. Realistic, exciting, it makes the Bible come alive. I wish I had written it.” —Dr. Sherwood Wirt, Decision Magazine
