The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon

"The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon" by Erasmus W. Jones is a historical tale set during the Babylonian conquest, following the lives of young captives from Judah as they grapple with their new lives in a foreign land, focusing on a nobleman named Ezrom and his companions who are caught in the chaos of Jerusalem and face the harsh realities of captivity after initially running afoul of the law, narrowly escaping punishment; meanwhile, in Babylon, young nobles like Daniel confront the challenge of preserving their identity and beliefs while being assimilated into Babylonian culture, which sets the stage for stories filled with characters struggling to hold onto their identity in the face of overwhelming change and moral challenges.
