Queen Witch

My One True Love Some loves shape a season. One true love shapes a lifetime. Sandy Saunders grows up beneath the Carolina stars, the son of ordinary parents whose quiet faith teaches him to notice people others overlook. From Sunday School rooms and YMCA gyms to hospital bedsides, baptism waters, and church hallways, Sandy slowly discovers that God’s call is not always found in the spotlight. Sometimes it is found simply by showing up. As the years pass, Sandy becomes a faithful local pastor, pouring his life into children, families, the grieving, the lonely, and the church he loves. Along the way, he experiences friendship, heartbreak, disappointment, unexpected grace—and a love he never completely forgets. But ministry has a cost. And as Sandy grows older, he must wrestle with difficult questions: Was faithfulness worth the things he gave up? Does a calling end when a title disappears? And can God redeem the roads we were too afraid to take? Spanning decades of American church life, My One True Love is a tender Christian historical novel about calling, sacrifice, friendship, lost love, aging, and the quiet beauty of a life faithfully given away. Because in the end, Sandy discovers that faithfulness is never wasted—and love is rarely as simple as we first imagine.
