Sandy always believed the rules would keep her safe.
Go to church. Pray. Obey. Trust the man in the collar, because that's what her grandmother taught her, and her grandmother's faith had never steered her wrong. So when Father Mark started asking for more than a listening ear, Sandy did what she'd always done. She obeyed.
Even when it didn't feel right. Even when something in her whispered no.
The Church Girl & The Priest is the story of what happens when the person who's supposed to guide you toward heaven leads you somewhere else entirely, and how long it can take a woman to see the difference between faith and fear.
Father Mark is a married man carrying something private, something seminary never fixed and marriage never cured. Sandy is a well-meaning church girl who wanted nothing more than to do right by God. And she becomes the one who pays for what he never conquered.
This isn't a love story. It's the story of a woman learning, piece by piece, that the voice she lost was never really gone. It was buried under everything she'd been told to believe.
For readers who want more than romance, who want the truth about what happens when spiritual authority gets abused, and the long climb back to grace afterward, this book doesn't flinch.
Inside, you'll find:
- A story that doesn't look away from how manipulation hides inside religious authority
- A woman's raw journey through church hurt toward something like forgiveness
- A reckoning with grace, shame, and what it costs to reclaim your voice
If you've ever wondered how someone gets trapped by the very faith that was supposed to set her free, or if you've lived it yourself, Sandy's story will stay with you long after the last page.
Perfect for readers of Francine Rivers, Karen Kingsbury, and Victoria Christopher Murray who want fiction brave enough to tell the truth.
