The Well Women – Crossing Boundaries, by Ladine Housholder Former members of a study group are reunited on a tour to the historic site of Jacob’s Well where Jesus encountered the Samaritan woman. Kay is the color-coded super organizer; Ruth, a comedian with Kleenex and empathy; Alicia is the brainiac with a dark secret; Inez, foodie with an accent; Corinne, gentle voice in the moonlight; Beth, nurse with a sore heart; and Vicky, home alone again and again. Then there is Julia, with a caustic complaint for every occasion; whereas Norma is cheerful in the face of death. At the Well, they not only meet Najila, modern Samaritan tour guide, and her family, they also meet themselves and each other. Throughout this tour of life, healing, and history, you will be treated to a rich tapestry of details about the people, sights, shops and food of the Middle East.
