Captain Zack Adams is an undisputed hero to the American people, but just what happened to him after his failed mission going after an elusive terrorist, code named Chameleon? No one seems to know for sure, other than that he’s vanished off the face of the Earth, but as he disappears, someone else arrives. Sister Rose seems to have something up her sleeve that no one understands and when she manages what many have died trying to do, it seems like the end for her, and maybe it is. But for Mia, it’s only the beginning as she works to help Captain Adams’ family with the struggles they’ve suffered ever since his disappearance and since a certain young gym teacher came into their lives to turn everything upside down in Mia by Bernard Remakus.

This story is not just about Captain Adams, Mia, Molly and Peter, but also about patriotism, love and overcoming obstacles. It’s all about creating your own future and accomplishing things that you think you can’t. The characters each have problems and flaws and, yet, they still manage to accomplish something amazing for the world (and, of course, for their own families). This book really makes you think about what you’re doing to help others. It’s really interesting and fun to read and I definitely liked it. I’d actually be interested in reading a whole lot more about the characters. It’s a book I’ll tell others about and, as a short book, it’s one you can read all in one sitting.
