The Well is Deep Ros Bayes

Fifteen year old Photini is making preparations for her wedding in the first century Samaritan village of Sychar. An idealistic dreamer, she has no inkling of the disaster that is about to befall her in the form of baseless accusations, public shame and a life of abuse and subservience. When the sudden death of her husband releases her from this living nightmare, it leaves her with a desperate thirst to be loved. This desperation drives her from one hopeless marriage to another until eventually she grasps at the only man left who she believes can truly love her - and he is another woman's husband. Consumed with remorse and despairing of ever satisfying the inner thirst, Photini takes her waterpot to the village well, and there she encounters a man who reveals himself to be the Messiah, and who introduces her to a father who is seeking her and has only unconditional love for her. Now begins an adventure as a carrier of living water, and an eventual reunion with her beloved Messiah.
