BOOK TWO IN THE DAUGHTER OF SAMARIA SERIES
Faith, heartbreak, and redemption shape the next chapter of Adva's journey.
Life has not been kind to Adva. Bound by duty, pushed by circumstances and tested by sorrow, she enters marriage believing it will bring her peace—and finds instead a path she never imagined.
Through betrayal, abandonment, and loss, Adva's story unfolds against the backdrop or first-century Samaria. But even in the darkest moments, God is at work, weaving redemption into a life that seems beyond hope.
Kinsman Redeemer continues Adva's story with depth, authenticity, and grace—leading her closer to the encounter at the well that will change everything.
