About the Book
Author Kennedy Oliver and her husband, Austin, were two high school teachers from a small town just trying to work hard and raise their daughters to be good people. In 2005, the family was thrilled to be moving into a beautiful, newly built home.
In 2006, Kennedy experienced unexplained exhaustion and significant health issues. The family had no idea the medical nightmare they would face for the next six years. Kennedy consulted with multiple doctors, underwent an extraordinary amount of surgeries, and experienced unspeakable pain with her chronic condition. And then in 2011, Austin became deathly ill and required emergency surgery to save his life.
In God Only Knows, Kennedy tells her family’s story. Because of their faith in God, constant prayer, and their incredible support network they were able to navigate through this extremely difficult journey. This memoir shares a powerful message of love, perseverance, and how an unyielding faith in the Lord helped this family survive.
