Jacob's Well

A novel about a love triangle with characters “motivated by a need to overcome loneliness and . . . retrieve submerged passions . . . Deeply moving and wise” (Publishers Weekly).

A passionate, emotionally intense novel takes readers deep into the mysterious passageways of a Central Texas aquifer―and of the human heart. This edition includes a new afterward by the author.

Libby, Sam, and Rick are bound together by more than passion. The three cave divers also descend together into Jacob’s well, a deeply submerged cave outside of Austin, Texas and are forced to confront themselves—and each other.  

“The suspense is as pressurized as the atmosphere 150 feet below the surface. Jacob’s Well delivers satisfaction from beginning to end. The action sequences are authentic and taut. The love affairs and the nuances of emotion between the three protagonists ring painfully true. ―St. Louis Globe-Democrat

“Exquisitely painful at times . . . Also deeply humane—a thoughtful and thought-provoking story of how three individuals make peace with themselves, each other, and the world around them. ―San Antonio Express-News

“A significant work by an author whose talents, like the depths of Jacob’s Well itself, seem limitless. ―United Press International

“An emotionally resonant novel.” ―Newsweek
