We have had the opportunity to read the pre-release novel “A Deeper Well” by author Jill Eileen Smith.
It is a story about the Samaritan woman at the well that Jesus met as she came to the well in the heat of the day in order to avoid the ire of the people of the town (see in John 4). There, she finds someone who knows her better than she knows herself, one who offers her living water, forgiveness, restoration and an everlasting love.
Jill Eileen Smith takes this unnamed biblical character and gives her a name. Takes her pain and fleshes it out and gives her some “what if” looks at her life before the messiah brought a new life to her at that well.
Pin for later
This is an interesting story. I liked how she fleshed out the characters and built a story around the story of this woman who we don’t really know much about.
It makes us think about what all took place in her life to bring her to the lonely place at the well.
I think that you will enjoy it like we did.
