Arrested Love - Paperback

by Karen Krueger (Author)

She believed love could fix anything. Until the man she trusted shattered everything.

Kassidy has always been the strong one, the grounded, dependable partner supporting her brilliant husband Finn through the final stages of his PhD. While she works long hours to keep them afloat, Finn wrestles with insomnia, racing thoughts, and bursts of creative energy that leave him euphoric one day and unreachable the next. She chalks it up to stress. Genius always comes at a cost.

Then she gets the call that changes everything.

Finn has been arrested for soliciting a minor online. In an instant, Kassidy's world unravels. Reeling from betrayal and desperate for answers, the couple enters therapy, and it's there that they uncover the truth neither of them saw coming: Finn has undiagnosed bipolar disorder, and the chaotic behavior that nearly destroyed their lives was part of a deeper, untreated illness.

But diagnosis is not redemption. As Kassidy grapples with the complexities of mental illness, personal boundaries, and the weight of her own silence, she's forced to confront an impossible truth: love cannot survive without trust, and some fractures cannot be mended.

In a journey that takes her through grief, clarity, and ultimately self-reclamation, Kassidy must decide what she's willing to lose-and what she's finally ready to claim.

A powerful exploration of trauma, love, and the quiet courage it takes to walk away, this is the story of a woman who loses everything she thought she needed... and finds herself instead.
