Compelled: Based on a True Story - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Indian was a young man, perhaps in his twenties. He examined his face, which seemed now strangely familiar, and his eyes, they were filled with intelligence. Yet behind them lay some deep sense of trouble. Compelled is a psychological character study filled with hope and redemption, set in the brutally violent times of early colonial New England. Young John Longley, orphaned in the wake of the Groton massacre, was taken in as a slave by the Abenaki chief, Madockawando. Now on the brink of manhood and suddenly freed from obligation to his captors, sixteen-year-old John has no intent of returning to the land of his birth. It has been four years since Jack's nephew and nieces were captured by Abenaki Indians. His first plan of ransom failed. Subsequent years of silence have smothered all remaining hope of seeing the children again. But now, as loved ones drop from his life and purpose becomes harder to find, a figure from Jack's past appears. The unexpected visitor's information compels Jack to once more search for the captive and return home with him...no matter what the cost. The companion volume, Captive, begins the story of Compelled.
