Among the Brave
In a society that restricts the number of children per family to only two, third children are illegal. Trey is one of these third children caught in the midst of an overthrow of the government. The Population Police have taken over the government and further enforce their draconian laws.
Trey meets Luke’s real family as they return to Luke’s home. There, he meets Luke’s real brothers and, it is from there, Trey’s search for courage begins.
Trey’s friends have been captured by the Population Police in this coup and it is up to Trey to save them. However, Trey, because of the way he was raised, is afraid of his own shadow and battles his own doubts and fears. How in the world is he going to save anyone?
He knows his friends would risk their lives to save him if he were the one captured. Can he find the courage and strength to help his friends? Can Trey and Mark, one of Luke’s real brothers, save Luke before it’s too late?
