Why read it?
1 author picked The Pocket Wife as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the way the author sheds light on bi-polar disorder that affects approximately 2.6 percent of the American population. Her depiction of the intensity of the illness helps readers understand why many people suffering from the disorder die from suicide.

From Katherine's list on books with gaslighting and manipulation.
