Micky Bravo is a 15-year-old Army Brat. She is working her butt off in school and has made good friends at this duty station, but she can't wait to move on to the next adventure. Unfortunately, her next adventure has been postponed due to her dad being deploying overseas. Great! Micky is not happy about her dad's deployment. In fact, she hates the idea of him leaving yet again. She feels as if these are selfish thoughts and tries to keep them to herself.

When life begin to take its toll, Micky looks at all the deployment stuff she received as a kid, but none of it helps her now as a teenager. The stress of her dad, her hero, is beginning to keep Micky from sleeping at night. She lays in bed imagining everything that could go wrong. When she seeks information from her local Army Community Service Center, she is told there is nothing for teens. No workbooks. No deployment journals for teens. No classes. Nothing!

That is when Micky gets an idea. Micky sets a goal for herself. She will not only pass all her classes but also create a Guide for Military teens that highlight what she and her friends have gone through being a teen with a parent gone. She has no earthly clue how she is going to do it, or even where to start, but one thing is for sure, there is nothing in heaven or on earth that will keep Micky from doing this project and getting it published. If not for her then for every teenager out there who has been in her shoes and felt so alone!
