As Sarah continues to mature in Salt Lake City, she must face important choices after her father decides to leave the Mormon Church. Shunned by her extended family and the Mormon community, Sarah struggles between the influences of her controlling father and a fundamentalist church. After a popular and influential teacher notices her plight and steers her toward academic success, Sarah begins to dream about going away to college and leaving a place she feels she no longer belongs. Unfortunately, her pursuit of independence causes more friction in the family. While Sarah attempts to balance conflicts, she must find a way to be a good daughter while remaining true to herself as a young woman. But as she is about to discover, it is a difficult path to navigate amid societal expectations of 1950s women. My Name Is Sarah Armstrong shares the tale of a young woman’s coming-of-age journey as she attempts to find her place in the shadow of the Mormon Church.

On a quiet afternoon in Houston, 4-year-old Joey Warner plays in a park sandbox when a stranger approaches, looking for his runaway dog. While Joey's mom, Crystal, talks on her cell phone, the stranger convinces the child to help him search. By the time Crystal turns around, her son has disappeared. Yet her reaction is odd, not what one would expect from a distraught mother. Is Crystal Warner somehow involved in her son's abduction? Meanwhile, on a cattle ranch outside Houston, Texas Ranger and profiler Sarah Armstrong assesses a symbol left on the hide of a slaughtered longhorn, a figure that dates back to a forgotten era of sugarcane plantations and slavery. Soon, other prize-winning bulls are found butchered on the outskirts of the city, each bearing a new but similar symbol. Before long, the two investigations converge at the same time a catastrophic hurricane threatens. One of Sarah's close friends is murdered, and the clock ticks as the storm moves in. If Sarah doesn't act quickly, the child will die. Kathryn Casey delivers a fast-paced, exciting third case for Sarah Armstrong, one of the pluckiest and most complex female investigators to come along in a long time.

Meanwhile, teenage idol Cassidy receives threatening e-mails and text messages and hears creepy whispers over her headset at performances. Cassie's next performance is at a Houston rodeo.
