Atmospheric Disturbances: Scenes from a Marriage

by Maggie May Ethridge

Overview

Two people deeply in love finally say their vows after ten years of friendship and uncertainty. But then the marriage takes a heartbreaking dive when one of them is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The other struggles to stay afloat while raising their four children even as she confronts the uninvited guest of mental illness. Author Maggie May Ethridge asks: Am I welcome at the marriage table when my husband is lost to bipolar and my wedding band is being twisted in anxiety underneath the cloth? Less about the exact nature of bipolar disorder and more about the nature of love under fire, Atmospheric Disturbances brings us into the heart of a marriage.
