Dr. Lauree Brown is a writer and scholar whose work brings long-silenced women back into view. Holding a PhD in metaphysical theology and drawing on academic training in psychology and anthropology, she mixes scholarship with deep empathy shaped by her own experience of trauma and healing. In Beyond the Well, Dr. Brown reimagines the Samaritan woman as a fully realized human being navigating power, loss, survival, and personal agency within a patriarchal world. Her storytelling is grounded in careful historical research and emotional realism.
When I met Photine on the page, she would not leave me alone. Writing her felt like following a thread that led to the lives of countless women.
