Waking Up in the Middle of Nowhere is a riveting memoir about a marriage tested to the limits due to bipolar disorder. It reads like an edge-of-your-seat suspense novel while telling a passionate love story full of vulnerability, honesty, and grace. Waking Up in the Middle of Nowhere is a real life account of perseverance, the challenges of a bi-polar marriage, and the God who sustains through it all.
Waking Up in the Middle of Nowhere edition by Allison Johnson Health Fitness Dieting eBooks
*****This was a great book about a woman who lives in a marriage to a husband who is bipolar. It is the story of what she went through from diagnosis to the healing of her marriage. It is realistic, honest, and very gripping, especially if the reader is in a bipolar marriage or wants to know what it would be like. I think it would be very useful for the person with bipolar illness to also read to understand what his/her spouse goes through. The story was special because the author includes the part her Christian faith played in all parts of her journey. It is not pie-in-the-sky miracle-alone healing though, as psychiatrists, medication, counseling, and hard work were involved as well.
I liked it because it validated my emotions as having been the spouse of someone with bipolar illness. It also gave me hope for this person's healing someday. I think that this is the book's greatest strength. For someone who is in a marriage like this, there is no other book out there that is anywhere near as validating or helpful. I too would like to thank the author, and her husband as well, as it took courage for them both to be so transparent.
Highly recommended.

Waking Up in the Middle of Nowhere edition by Allison Johnson Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
"Waking up in the middle of nowhere" is a triumph of faith, hope and love over illness and adversity. Allison takes the reader on a challenging roller coaster ride through every imaginable emotion and I lived every page with her. When we take our marriage vows we all mean them and God tells us what love really is in 1 Corinthians 13, which is often used during wedding ceremonies. This story is that passage lived out in practice. It is a one sitting read book!

Allison Johnson tells of the roller coaster ride she experienced with a man she called Super Grant and Grant Zero, the man she took for better or worse, getting plenty of both in the bargain. It's a gut-wrenching tale of her marriage to a husband who tormented her emotionaly, caused her to question her own sanity, and was the love of her life.
From a vortex of anquish and dispair, she reached out to her Father, after reaching the end of herself. She found in Him the heart full of love and forgiveness she needed to stay in the fight to keep her family intact.
Thankfully Allison and Grant have the courage to show the effects of bipolar disorder on the victim of the illness as well as their loved ones. Unfortunately mental illness is more often hidden from view, especially in the church. Perhaps Waking Up in the Middle of Nowhere will help us to look past the pressed suits and made-up faces and see the hurting people inside who are devastated by mental illness
From the first page, this real-life saga sucked me into the tension of a good marriage gone awry. My pulse pounded as I burned through the pages of heartache and confusion...until clarity finally broke through and healing began. The beauty of this book, in addition to its being well written, is the blend of personal story-telling and educational unpacking of the challenges of bipolar disorder. Far from a sterile textbook on symptoms and solutions, the reader still comes away with tremendous understanding of the challenges faced by those with this chemical imbalance...and particularly how those challenges impact a marriage. Ultimately, it's a tale of redemption--as all the best stories are. You will be glad you read this book!
I am living this story. Incredible insight and comfort in this book
This was an amazing book and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down! A wonderful story of forgiveness, and how God can heal a broken marriage. Thank you Allison and Grant for sharing your story and God bless you!
I am Grant and my husband is Allison in this book and once I started reading, I couldn't stop! As someone who suffers from depression, it is comforting knowing I am not the only one. This illness can take you down a dark path making you feel scared, alone and really questioning your sanity. By Allison sharing their story, I know my husband and I aren't the only ones and I know there is light at the end of the tunnel! Allison is a WONDERFUL author and I can't thank her enough for sharing their story on a subject that is so hard to discuss. I hope others can find the same comfort in this book that my husband and I did!
If you know anyone who suffers from depression or bipolar disorder I highly recommend this read; you will not feel alone anymore!
While recovering from a stroke at the age of sixty, my father was diagnosed with manic depression. Up to that point, our lives were tempered by his daily mood swings. When he was happy, the whole world envied us. He was everyone's charmer. We were the only ones who saw his depressed side and he seemed possessed. He was placed on meds and lived another twenty-plus years a totally different person. Even his "good" side changed, which was sad, but we all adjusted to this new person.
I was attracted to Ms. Johnson's book and read it in a matter of hours, so riveted to it that I could not put it down. I saw the struggle between the husband and wife and identified with my own parents.
I hoped to read that a cure had been found, instead what I found was more realistic and amazing and satisfying.I cried at the end, but it was not out of sadness.
