Description: "When a package from an antiquarian bookshop in Frankfurt, Germany, arrives in Dorset, Vermont, the recipient finds that it contains a mysterious note and rare book. Bound in vellum, the book is impressed with the image of a woman holding a chalice in her outstretched hands as she stands atop a rock near an unsheathed sword. Efforts to translate the book result in THE WELL THAT NEVER RUNS DRY, a timeless story full of life lessons for us all that is a companion to THE BOOK OF THE SHEPHERD. THE WELL THAT NEVER RUNS DRY is a journey of discovery about the absolute value of love. The story that begins with the drowning death of a small child in the rain-swollen river. Left alone to care for the young boy David, after the shepherd, Joshua, has gone to resettle the victims of the flood, Elizabeth discovers the child's body and is plagued by age-old questions--Why do the righteous suffer? Why does God take children before their time? Why is the universe so cold, cruel and unfair? Does a man soweth as he reapeth?"--
