Bookroo's summary

In 1836, young Brady stumbles upon a secret at Drover Hull's cabin, suspecting it involves aiding runaway slaves. His revelation to his father backfires, revealing a family entangled in the slavery controversy. As trust wavers, Brady faces a pivotal moment to prove his maturity and courage. Can he navigate this dangerous secret and help his father, or will his loose tongue jeopardize everything? The stakes are high, and Brady must decide where his loyalties lie in a world divided by slavery.

From the publisher

Brady knew there was something strange going on over at Drover Hull’s cabin. He thought Hull was helping runaway slaves and he just had to tell someone. But the minute he told his father, Brady could tell by the look on his face that he’d opened his mouth once too often. When he learned of his father’s part in the slavery controversy, Brady wanted to help him, but he knew his father wouldn’t trust him to keep a secret.
