Stay or flee? Life or family? An impossible choice.

It's Aug 13, 1961, in Berlin Germany. Nationale Volksarmee soldiers roll barbed wire across the war-torn city to create the first Berlin Wall.
Families are separated, livelihoods destroyed, death comes easily as crippling fear paralyzes the occupants on both sides of the wall. Fifteen-year-old Ella is faced with an agonizing decision. Does she risk crossing the wall and possible death to reach her family? Or does she embrace her new life and blossoming love that could be wrenched from her at any moment? West Germany and possible freedom or East Germany and controlled chaos?

Ensnare, the first book in the “Berlin Butterfly” series, is a story of life, love, survival and the struggle of living through the dark early years of the Berlin Wall. Readers will be captivated with Ella’s strength, determination, and vulnerability as she opens her heart amidst a dangerous and terrifying journey."




Snippet:


My terror grew with each passing moment. The perpetual blast of heat winded me, allowing perspiration as the only source of wetness on my parched lips. My drenched hair weightily stuck to my face, and the salt stung my eyes. When the whispers paused, I heard a steady drip of fluid. It hurt to think. Where is the water coming from? I assumed it was a faucet on the tub then realized the sound was much closer . . . the bowls. With my hands still positioned underneath my body, liquid easily rolled off my skin . . . they were collecting my sweat.
