It is with both tenderness and profound gratitude that we announce the release of Junie Swadron’s final book, completed shortly before her passing. Finishing this book was Junie’s greatest last wish—a promise she held with unwavering devotion until the very end.
Today, we’re honoured to share that If You Only Knew: A Book of Healing Letters is now officially available as a paperback on Amazon and Kindle.
“If You Only Knew: A Book of Healing Letters is a heartfelt treasure trove of wisdom, vulnerability, and grace. Through these intimate and beautifully written letters, Junie Swadron reminds us of the healing power of truth, love, and authentic connection This book is a gentle invitation to return to the sacred art of letter writing and to the deeper knowing of our own hearts. Junie’s words are soul medicine.”
— Marci Shimoff,
#1 NY Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and
Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul
This book represents the heart of Junie’s life’s work: the belief that writing can heal.
Through eighteen intimate letters—to family, past loves, God, Death, and even Cancer—Junie reveals what it means to say the unsaid, face the unspoken, and offer forgiveness where pain once lived.
She hoped this book would be a companion for anyone seeking healing—a reminder that it is never too late to reclaim your voice, your truth, and your story.
“This is a collection of truths, whispered and shouted, offered and withheld, fragile and fierce.
Each letter is a doorway into one woman’s journey of love, loss, forgiveness and becoming.
And yet, as you read, you may find that these letters do not belong to her alone.
They belong to all of us who have ever longed to say what could not be said.”
— Megan Edge, Friend and Editor
Special thanks go to Becky Norwood and Spotlight Publishing, who brought Junie’s final book into the world with such care, and to Megan Edge, who worked tirelessly alongside Junie to edit the manuscript and place a finished copy in her hands before her passing. Their devotion ensured that Junie’s last wish was not only honoured, but fulfilled with love.
Junie leaves behind a rich legacy of writing, teaching, and creative healing. In addition to If You Only Knew, her earlier books continue to inspire writers, seekers, and anyone longing for deeper self-understanding.

With love and gratitude,
Junie’s Family and Friends
