As their relationship grows, will the secrets Sarah is hiding, secrets that Cat realizes everyone knows but her, finally pull them apart? Can Sarah trust Cat enough to overcome her past and the insecurities it has caused and take a chance on the one thing she thought she could never have again--love?

The sun shone brightly on a little town in New England where nine-year-old Sarah lived with her brother, James, and their mother, Teresa. Just two weeks prior, there had been great joy in their little town. It was May 1945, and the end of World War II was being celebrated. When Sarah awoke that morning, she found that there was no food in the house. Her mother had lost her job to the soldiers coming home from the war. It was thought better to hire the men back as most of the women did not need the jobs to support them.

Finding Sarah is the story of one woman's quest to survive rape, loss, seduction and betrayal and become the hero of her own life.

Don't let your past keep you from a full future. Like every girl, Sarah Jakes dreamed of a life full of love, laughter, and happy endings. But her dreams changed dramatically when she became pregnant at age thirteen, a reality only compounded by the fact that her father, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was one of the most influential megachurch pastors in the nation. As a teen mom and a high-profile preacher's kid, her road was lonely. She was shunned at school, gossiped about at church. And a few years later, when a fairy-tale marriage ended in a spiral of hurt and rejection, she could have let her pain dictate her future. Instead, she found herself surrounded by a God she'd given up on, crashing headlong with Him into a destiny she'd never dreamed of. Sarah's captivating story, unflinchingly honest and deeply vulnerable, is a vivid reminder that God can turn even the deepest pain into His perfection. More than a memoir, Lost and Found offers hope and encouragement. Perhaps you, like Sarah, find yourself wandering the detours of life. Regardless of how lost you feel, you, too, can be found.
