Overview
Leaving a high-profile job to serve as superintendent of the Christian school of her youth, single mom Julia Turner is forced to accept responsibility for her teenage role in an accident that disabled a neighbor.
Publishers Description
Julia Turner, an ambitious educator in her mid-thirties, leaves a high-profile job in Chicago to return to Dayton, Ohio to serve as superintendent of Christian Light, the K-12 private school system from which she graduated two decades earlier. A single mother with an ugly divorce and a complex childhood in her rearview mirror, Julia views her mission as a chance to contribute to her hometown and conquer the demons from her past. But she never expects to confront the one sin she and her childhood friends agree to bury as teens-the accident that left Eddie Walker hospitalized and incapacitated.
Meanwhile, Detective Peter Whitlock, Eddie Walker's older bother, is still determined to find the person(s) responsible for his brother's condition. As an unrelated investigation leads to another woman who is involved in the accident, the responsible parties must decide whether they will keep their dark secrets, or tell the truth and let God decide the outcome. |

 | Interesting viewpoint May 17, 2009 |
| The author writes well, and creates a good story. There were a few more characters than I normally enjoy following in a story, overall he did a great job. His characters POV regarding race relations was interesting and does a service to use fiction to share real issues people face. | | | | Skeletons in the Closet May 10, 2009 |
Cassie Duncan and Julia Turner have been the best of friends since the school days at Christian Light. Both share the same faith and love in the man upstairs and have become successful in their careers. Cassie has a lot on her plate as a real estate agent along with being a full time mother and wife. Julia is a superintendent at their alma mater and is working diligently to keep the doors of the school open. Everything seems to be on the straight and narrow until a visit from a detective interrupts their lives and threatens to expose the deep dark secret that was left buried in the past. That horrific night is getting the best of Cassie and Julia as well as other classmates that were involved and everything seems to be spiraling out of control. Staying prayed up and believing that the almighty will make a way out of no way, Cassie and Julia leave the burden in God's hands to handle.
"God Only Knows" is a winner. Xavier takes the reader on a journey of mystery and suspense with a twist of romance. I enjoyed this novel and was impressed with the author's writing style. I'm a big fan of Christian Fiction and love to read how God works in various individual lives

Each of the girls had grown into successful young women. Julia Turner returned to Dayton to serve as a superintendent to Christian Light School, the private Christian academy she attended in middle school.

The "accident" left him physically and mentally impaired. The detective had homed in on Cassie. Secrets have a tendency to come to light.
God Only Knows is a tender read. The characters are all well developed and come to life on the pages. Xavier Knight is a talented author. He shares a message from God without being preachy. This book is multi-layered. There is a study guide included in the back of the book. This would make a great book study for a small group. This book will stay with the reader long after they close the cover.
