A deeper well : [large print] the story of the woman at the well / Jill Eileen Smith.
"In ancient Israel, soon after Nessa is of marriageable age, her father gives her to a wealthy widowed friend, capitalizing on her beauty to bring in the highest bride-price he can find. Nessa tries to accept her fate, but after only a year of marriage, tragedy hits her new family. She is sent back to her father, who quickly finds a young man who wants to marry the most beautiful woman in Sychar. Misfortune follows Nessa as she is passed from one marriage to the next -- until she meets an unusual Jewish rabbi at the town's well one afternoon, and her life is forever changed." -- Back cover.
