CATCH ME WHEN I FALL

Thriller Psychological

Holly Krauss is a successful businesswoman -- who has a huge secret. There's a part of her life she doesn't share with anyone, not even her adoring husband, Charlie. No one knows the things that Holly does in the night, until her lies start to catch up with her. As Holly's friends, business associates and husband start to understand that she's falling apart, everything crashes.

Holly has bipolar disorder. By the time she has a breakdown and ends up in a hospital, finding help, she has royally screwed up her life. She owes money to some really bad people, she is apparently being stalked and odd things are going on.

But Holly has to struggle with how her life is changing. The medication may make her more stable, but losing her mood fluctuations makes her feel a little lost. Learning to function on a different level, Holly struggles to adapt to her life and wonders how much the odd things going on may be a figment of her imagination. Because she feels as if her life really is in danger.

Wow! I think that one word says it all. For anyone who's familiar with the challenges of living with bipolar disorder, this book will yank parts of your heart. Even for those who don't know much about this condition, CATCH ME WHEN I FALL will draw you into Holly's world. This is a terrific book, with a little bit of everything for all readers. I will say it's not a "happy, happy" book -- so I'd leave it alone if you're looking for some light reading.
