MILLION-COPY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR SAYS PEACE IS ONLY FOUND WHEN YOUR PAST IS CONFRONTED
Shannon Ethridge, author of the best-selling Every Women’s Battle series, releases first novel
“This story explores love and sacrifice and the effects of our decisions. It 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
Best-selling author Shannon Ethridge brings her twenty years of expertise in sexual integrity and healing to her first novel (Thomas Nelson; October 2013). To Know You is a compelling story illustrating the timely message that only after confronting and exposing the past can true peace and healing be found—though the temptation remains to bury the secrets sins in the name of appearing to have it all together.
Julia Whittaker, Ethridge’s brave protagonist, is trying to move on from a rocky past that yielded two daughters both given up for adoption, when she is forced to find them to save the life of her son who is dying, and his only hope for survival is a ”living liver” transplant. In a powerful story illustrating the power of forgiveness and the freedom many desire, To Know You reaches Ethridge’s millions of fans with a story they asked Shannon to write for many years.
The story is personal for Ethridge who has spent her career in ministry speaking about overcoming her past of sexual promiscuity and the freedom she discovered. She notes: “I know what it’s like to be haunted by sexual ghosts from your past. The only way to reconcile a rocky past is to allow those emotions we’ve kept bottled up down deep inside to finally have a voice. The main character in this novel, Julia, vividly paints a portrait of what that journey looks like for her – sometimes gracefully, sometimes not-so-gracefully.”
