   The next book is 'Journey to the Well' by Diane Wallis Taylor. This is biblical fiction based on the story of the Samaritan woman Jesus meets at the well; one of my favorite. This book gets high ratings at Goodreads. You can read the reviews here. Here is the synopsis from Barnes and Noble.

She went to the well for water. What she found there would change her life forever.

Marah is a young girl in love with her childhood friend, Jesse. When she is forced to marry an older man, she must abandon her dreams of happiness. At the mercy of men who are often only interested in using her, Marah must fight for survival. Will she ever meet a man who can save her?

The story of the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well is one of hope, redemption, and a life changed in an instant through a remarkable encounter. Jesus told her "everything she'd ever done," but we are left to wonder at the circumstances that led her life on such a tragic path to begin with. Now from the creative mind of Diana Wallis Taylor comes the full story of the woman at the well.

This well-researched portrayal of a woman's life in the time of Jesus opens a window into a fascinating world. Taylor's rich descriptions of the landscapes, lifestyles, and rituals mesh easily with the emotional and very personal story of one woman who desperately seeks to rise above the difficult circumstances of her life.

   The last book is another one classified as Christian historical fiction, but much more recent history. 'This Fine Life' by Eva Marie Everson takes place in 1959.

As she graduated from boarding school, her parents push for her to marry a nice southern gentleman and raise a family. Mariette is not so sure about what she wants in life. This gets very good reviews at Goodreads. You can read them here. Here is the synopsis from Barnes and Noble.

"This Fine Life proves that growing into love can rip one apart, quitting might be the easiest thing, but walking away is out of the question.
