She was always looking for The One, the person who would love her and teach her to love in return. Was it too much to ask? Then one day she thought she had found him. Pick Up Sticks is the true story of Sarah, a woman who thought she had met The One to take her to heaven - and found herself in the depravity of hell itself. She thought he was the love of her life. He thought he was the end of it.
