Advance Acclaim for To Know You

“Even though I’m known for writing nonfiction, fiction is what I love to read—and Shannon has created a storyline with more twists and turns than a mountain road. But more important than the twists is the way this story explores love and sacrifice and the effects of our decisions. This book will grab you and not let go. Anyone who reads Shannon’s nonfiction books knows she hooks you with her narrative, and now she’s put that skill to great use in her first novel!”

—SHAUNTI FELDHAHN, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF
FOR WOMEN ONLY AND THE VERITAS CONFLICT

“Can you ever truly escape your past? Shannon Ethridge weaves a gripping story of a respected Christian woman who has to dig up the past she thought buried in order to save her son’s life. And amazingly, sometimes even the things we hoped we could forget end up being the things God uses to bring real wholeness to our lives. A no-holds-barred realistic portrayal of a messy life that finds peace when we confront our pasts, not try to ignore them.”

—SHEILA WRAY GREGOIRE, AUTHOR OF
THE GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO GREAT SEX

“To Know You is one of the best emotional roller coasters I have been on! Who knew it was possible to interweave so many powerful sexual, emotional, and relational themes into one story and so seamlessly? This novel is what other Christian fiction needs to be: refreshingly honest, grace-inducing, and the opposite of ‘preachy.’ A work well done!”

—MICHELLE N. ONUORAH,
AUTHOR AND SCREENWRITER

“In To Know You, Shannon Ethridge does a brilliant job of turning the truths she is known for teaching into a dynamic, page-turning narrative that will touch your heart and stir your soul. She takes the reader on a very real journey of temptation and redemption along with the characters, crafting a story you do not want to miss.”

—LEIGH CONGDON, FREELANCE WRITER

“I literally read To Know You in one night. I couldn’t put it down. Everything about the characters is so real. There is no sugar-coating their struggles and temptations, and it made the entire book very relatable. But most of all, I loved the story of how the redeeming power of God’s grace transformed them one by one. Such a great example of God’s unconditional love! The world needs more books like To Know You!”

—AMBER P.

“To Know You offered an exhilarating escape each time I picked it up, and I felt so spiritually uplifted each time I put it down. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a riveting yet wholesome story that gets your heart racing and your blood boiling at the same time!”

—MICHELE A.

“I picked up the pre-released version of To Know You while on vacation. The first chapter totally hooked me and I couldn’t stop. I did not expect to identify so closely with some of the characters, and more particularly with some of the characters’ personal struggles. It helped me realize that I am not alone, and that no temptation seizes us but what is common to man (and woman!). I’m so grateful for gripping stories like this, and the power they have to transform the heart and mind—especially my heart and mind.”
