USED: My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward

Intimate, moving, and profoundly honest, My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward is Mark Lukach’s deeply personal memoir about loving someone through the darkest moments of mental illness. When his wife, Giulia, experiences a sudden and severe psychotic break, their lives are upended as Mark becomes her advocate, caregiver, and lifeline. Through multiple hospitalizations and long stretches of recovery, the memoir explores the toll mental illness takes on relationships, identity, and resilience—while also celebrating the enduring strength of love and partnership.

Raw yet hopeful, this beautifully written memoir is perfect for readers interested in mental health, caregiving, and real-life stories that illuminate both the fragility and the extraordinary strength of the human spirit.
