AMERICAN CHURCH

Sarah Ellis, daughter of Marston’s new pastor, believes she has her life all figured out:

Serve God, teach Sunday school, and become a spiritual leader in a town still marked by tragedy. But on the very first day of class, amid the emotional wreckage left behind by a devastating tornado, someone barges into her sacred world—a new girl, bold, athletic, with fire in her eyes and a fearless heart.



While the other students fade into dull shades of gray, the new girl shines. And without even trying, she awakens in Sarah a storm far more intense than any natural disaster.

What happens when what you feel contradicts everything you believe in?

What if love shows up disguised as a divine test?



In this story—charged with tenderness, tension, and moments that are painfully real—an emotional journey begins through faith, longing, and identity.

Sarah is about to learn that the most profound changes don’t always come from the heavens…sometimes they walk right past you in the school hallway.
