In the shadow of Mount Gerizim, where Samaritans worship in defiance of Jewish tradition, Davina's devout life crumbles when her husband falsely accuses her of adultery. Cast out by family and community in a society where a woman's worth depends entirely on her purity, Davina faces the brutal reality of survival in a world that views her as less than human. As she descends from respected wife to brothel worker to swine keeper (the most defiled occupation for her people) Davina questions why Adoni has abandoned her despite her innocence.

When a mysterious young man appears by Jacob's well outside Sychar, their destined meeting may offer Davina what she desperately seeks: redemption in a world determined to condemn her. But in a land seething with religious tension and patriarchal rule, can Yeshua's radical message of acceptance penetrate the hardened hearts of those who have cast her aside? This biblical historical novella explores the resilience of faith in darkness, and the revolutionary idea that divine love extends even to those deemed untouchable by society.
