A Husband for Adva: the backstory of the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well is the first novel written by Jeanette Brewer. The book conveys the childhood and adolescence of the woman at the well. This woman would meet Jesus at the very same well she daily visited as a child. If you ever wondered what this woman was like before she met Jesus, then this book begins to answer some of those questions and perhaps a few you haven't thought about.
