Everything We Never Knew

By: Ellen Goodlett, Julianne Hough

Narrated by: Julianne Hough

WHEN THE STARS ALIGN, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

On stage at an awards banquet is the last place Lexi Cole expected to drown. But as she accepts the award for top seller at her realty firm, something unusual catches Lexi’s eye: a man surrounded by a dark haze. Then she hears a woman screaming for help, and the taste of salt water overwhelms her. Just as Lexi’s throat begins to close, the man leaves the room and the sensation of drowning abruptly stops. Later that night, the man dies of an overdose, and Lexi learns about the traumatic boating accident that killed his sons and tore his family apart.

Lexi wants to believe it’s a bizarre coincidence. Any other explanation would disrupt the normal, comfortable life she’s worked so hard to build. Lexi is an expert at denial, a pro at fitting in. But as more strange events unfold, Lexi can’t deny the truth: something is changing inside her. She feels other people’s emotions, sometimes even glimpses their private memories.

By embracing her new abilities, Lexi can help heal people—though not until she confronts the past she’s spent a lifetime burying. But when a vision reveals her husband is in danger, Lexi must decide: face her inner demons or lose the person she loves most.

Atmospheric and emotional, Everything We Never Knew is the gripping story of one woman embracing her power, no matter what the world thinks.

This enhanced audiobook features original music.

Critic reviews

“At one point in our lives we are all challenged to leave behind the person we are expected to be and become who we truly are. This book is a beautiful story about the courage to be curious and change from within.”—Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like a Monk and host of On Purpose

The story felt authentic from personal experience.

This is a challenging review to write. The narrative did a good job of expressing the character’s experience of her background story and her present day seeking to find herself through esoteric energy healing. It gives a depressive vibe of always searching and never finding that sweet spot of acceptance. I think reading the book vs listening to the book would give a different perspective for some reason. Overall I think it was a great expression of what it is like to be an empath who can feel what others feel over one’s own feelings while coming into understanding yourself through the journey.

Excellent Spiritual Awakening Novel

Absolutely fantastic novel for anyone who has had any type of mystical or spiritual awakening

Touching, emotional, soul gripping!

I absolutely loved this book. I felt like I was in it both figuratively and literally. Beautifully written and narrated. Everything We Never Knew reached into my soul and woke me up. The characters, the emotions, and the beautiful descriptive language… ugh I loved it so much!

Supernatural healings

Each chapter seemed to drag out too long. Things repeated too many times. Needed to get to the point.

The vulnerability of the character

This was a beautifully written, vulnerable insight of the story that many people embark when they heal themselves from the past

Great story AND performance!

Loved every minute of it! Great story AND performance! I would like to hear more from Juliane.

Bravo

This book is mind-blowing. You can tell the time and effort that was placed into Lexi’s story. Mixing conscious healing within a story is about the new way of writing. This book is forging the way for that relationship between healing, storytelling.

I really wanted to like this

This was really tough to get through. I had heard this was lightly based off of her life. In my opinion, I would have loved to have had it be more direct about her rather than a story put in its place.But I understand her reasons why- it was just very tough for me to get through this story.

The book captured me from the moment I started listening.

I connected with this book. It was captivating. All I can say is “I want more”. I can understand this book might not be for everyone but I connected with the story and found it very interested. I can only hope to meet an energy healer like lexi or Bea one day. I loved this book!!!!

Brave and enlightening experience

With so many people becoming curious about spirituality beyond the confines of religion, this book is incredibly timely and insightful. As this book is “faction” (a work of fiction inspired by factual happenings) it gives us a peek inside of Julianne’s spiritual/energetic awakening in a way that is relatable and inspiring. I was touched by this story and saw more than a few parallels between Lexi’s experiences and some of my own. It definitely makes me want to delve deeper into the unknown to possibly find freedom from long ago hurts and maybe even uncover hidden gifts.
