All the Things We Never Knew: Chasing the Chaos of Mental Illness (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781580055840)

A reporter chases the biggest story of her life: her husband's descent into mental illness.

Even as a reporter, Sheila Hamilton missed the signs as her husband David's mental illness unfolded before her. By the time she had pieced together the puzzle, it was too late. Her once brilliant and passionate partner was dead within six weeks of a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, leaving his wife and nine-year-old daughter without so much as a note to explain his actions, a plan to help them recover from their profound grief, or a solution for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that they would inherit from him.

All the Things We Never Knew takes readers on a breathtaking journey, from David and Sheila's early romance through the last three months of their life together and into the year after his death. It details their unsettling spiral into the world of mental illness, examines the fragile line between reality and madness, and reveals the true power of love and forgiveness.
