If Only You Knew

By Mags Storey

A summer to live for... or a summer to die for?

Jo's summer vacation is off to a good start when she meets Kevin, an amazingly attractive guy, and Sam, her soon-to-be best friend, on the same day. Now she only needs a job, future plans, and a few goals for her life. No big deal, right?

As if that's not enough, Jo would also like to know why no one talks about the horrible accident she witnessed last summer. But as much as she wants to know the truth, someone else wants to keep it a secret. Can she handle creepy stalkers, death threats, and her crazy love-life without losing control?

For Jo, unraveling the mystery and piecing her life together will mean discovering if God really listens--and if he cares enough to answer.

Entertaining Read

As a woman who came to faith late in life, I found I understood the characters and their struggles with Christianity in the novel If Only You Knew. I could relate to Jo's desire to be understood, believed and loved. With honesty and vulnerability, each multi-dimensional character relates to the stuff of life - sharing conflicting emotions, confusion, and pain. I picked up If Only You Knew expecting a "light" read. But Storey delivered an entertaining novel full of vibrant life lessons and depth. Storey's characters are believably drawn and her writing is refreshing. A great mix of suspense, romance and humour. This novel is unpreditable, with twists that had me guessing until the end. If Only You Knew is for young women who struggle with faith issues. However, that said, I myself, a 40-something mother of two, loved it! I plan to share it with my daughter and her girlfriends.
