Canceled Captivity Russell J Moore

This coming of age tale from new author Russell J. Moore explores the themes of faith, free will, death, passion, social obligations and the tension that lies between seizing the day without jeopardizing the future.

Set in January of 1997, main character Jack Martin hates being a 17-year-old high school student in Manchester, New Hampshire. Every facet of his life seems to be controlled by someone else. When Jack wins a massive amount of cash gambling on a horse race, he makes his move. Jack convinces his heartbroken 20-something underachieving neighbor to come with him on an unforgettable adventure. But when Jack finds himself in Florida, on the run, and falling in love with a beautiful, 18 year old whiskey heiress--who just happens to be an animal rights activist--Jack must choose between his passion, friendship, and a budding romance. Will loyalty, his favorite hobby, or lust prevail?
