My Father's Princess

'[Mrs. Budd] got up to leave, but hesitated at the door. She turned back around and said, "Saranna, God is a King; the King of Kings, the Bible says. That means that if you accept His invitation to become His child, you will be a Princess."' 13 year old Saranna was an orphan in France...or so people thought. But Saranna secretly believed that her father, who had been arrested years ago, was even now still looking for her. She dreams of the day when he will come into the orphanage, sweep her off her feet, and bring her home with him again. But now that she is being adopted by a family in America, she feels like her hope--or was it really her wish?--of him ever coming back for her is shattered. In the midst of being submerged in a new culture and adapting to life in her new family, Saranna learns about a Heavenly Father who loves her very much. And while she struggles to feel at home with her new mom and dad, she wonders, "Can I possibly be loyal to three fathers?" Follow along Saranna's journey as she battles the pains and hurt of her past and eventually learns how to overcome her fears, struggles, and insecurities...not alone anymore, because she has come to know her Heavenly King, Jesus.
