Entrapped: 1861: The Journey Begins

By Elizabeth Ann Boyles

Description:

1861. Two brothers. One impulsive summer. Journeys that change everything.

Tom Ballard never meant for things to go so wrong. But after a string of missteps, he and his brother Terry are banished from the comfort of their New York home. Would signing on to a merchant ship become their greatest mistake—entangling them in a foul web of danger? Or could sailing the high seas offer the freedom, adventure, and camaraderie they crave?

Half a world away, Japanese siblings Sara and Daisuke Ogawa begin a journey of their own. Their newfound Christian faith is tested when fate places them in the path of a “barbaric” Ballard brother.

The characters in Entrapped make mistakes and face one crisis after another, yet God's providence shines for anyone watching.

Book Takeaway:

This expanded prequel lays the foundation for the Brothers in Peril Trilogy. It provides insight into the two brothers' search for meaningful relationships, their mistakes and victories, and the reason for the ending of a cliffhanger. The introduction of the pair of Japanese siblings gives hope of answered prayer and insights.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book to give the reader insights into the characters' deepest desires, their search for truth, and the way God can move to give understanding.
