My Review: 
"If He Only Knew " is a novel set in the late 1960s. The book deals with family relationships, loyalty, friendship, love, and loss. The main topic is somewhat controversial in nature, but we won’t mention what it is lest we spoil the story for readers. (This is from the guest from my blog post so I encourage you to read the guest post,)

"If He Only Knew" by Michelynn Christy, Brandi Gabrie is a great story and a reminder that God forgives us even when we can't forgive ourselves. I really liked this story and if you read this story you will need tissues because the book is about real life issues. 

This book touched me in a real personal way, no I don't have the same issue as Donna, but I struggle with feelings of being good enough and I too am afraid that if people knew the real me, they wouldn't like me but I know that like me but realistically...that isn't true because I am an open book. But this story helps readers understand that God loves us regardless of what we do or don't do if we just let Him and believe Him.

This book is about betrayal and lost and trust and forgiveness.  

I encourage everyone to read this book, yes it is a Christian book and one of the characters is a preacher but the book is not preachy at all, I believe all readers could gain some insight from this novel. 

I was given a complimentary copy by the authors and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Definitely a five star novel.

Guest Post from Michelynn Christy & Brandi Gabriel

Take a step back in time… If He Only Knew is a novel set in the late 1960s. The book deals with family relationships, loyalty, friendship, love, and loss. The main topic is somewhat controversial in nature, but we won’t mention what it is lest we spoil the story for readers. A similar book was written in a different genre under another name and the story really resonated with readers. We felt compelled to share this story with others who perhaps wouldn’t pick up that particular genre, and that is how this book came about. It may be set in the sixties, but the message is as relevant today as ever. Our prayer is that God will touch readers’ hearts and draw them closer to Him.
