" I would give this book 2 and a half stars if I could. The story was quite creative, mysterious disappearances, secret families, a nice hard working hero. However, most of it is too farfetched -- they talk about cell phones and using the internet but introduce a loving father who loses track of his daughter who was living only a few hours away and owns a small business -- not very likely! A Coast guard officer who never gets reassigned or leaves his home town, again this baffles me! Some of the mystery is never really resolved (the rope around the ankle of the step mother?). I also felt the Christian message gets a bit too preachy and could be toned down a bit. "
