Praise

The Silk Merchant of Sychar was a well-written and enthralling story. Cindy Williams took an encounter Jesus had with a woman by a well and wove it into a story full of surprises. Her telling of Leah’s journey carried me every step of the way with her, through her joys and heartaches, her pain and suffering, her strength and doubts, but most of all, her determination to be her own woman.
The author’s descriptions of time and place were excellent and her use of language made it a joy to read this book.

A riveting read!
I was totally absorbed in the world Cindy Williams has recreated from her meticulous research into the setting and customs of first century Samaria, Rome, and nearby lands.
The olive groves, the grit, the rich hues of fabric, and the aroma of chickpeas simmering in spices were brought to life. The reader is swept along with tales of cruel bloodshed and murder, Roman court intrigue, as well as overwhelming desire and resultant unbridled passion.
The author’s insight and lyrical prose kept me turning the pages, until the stunning biblical finale.
A recommended read!
