If my favorite saint isn't mentioned in the Satcharitra, how am I supposed to connect with it? It feels like the book isn't for me.

The text offers guidance for this exact feeling by focusing on the reader's internal state rather than external names. Chapter 50 encourages one to 'hold humility in hearing' and to 'perceive Sai in their hearts.' The fruitfulness of the reading comes from this internal realization, not from finding a specific name on the page. The goal is for the reader's own senses and tendencies to become 'Sai-form,' merging with the essence of the teachings like waves in water. So, even if a particular saint isn't named, the text invites you to connect by cultivating devotion internally, which is described as the supreme attainment.
