When Your Fairy Tale Fails: How I Survived the Devastation of My Spouse's Sexual Addiction, (Paperback)

Kristen Michaels grew up in an immensely faithful and wholesome family. This average girl-next-door fell in love with her college sweetheart. She spent ten years in a marriage that didn't quite add up until she found the missing piece. Her husband had a sexual addiction. Her marriage forced her to learn more about prostitution than she ever desired.

In When Your Fairy Tale Fails, she recounts the brutal trajectory of how she fell for a sex addict and how she conquered the devastation of discovering his secret life. In this memoir, Michaels describes how the combination of confusion, panic, and pain disoriented her in a way she had never experienced. She laboriously searched for answers seeking to understand what was happening to her and why.

When Your Fairy Tale Fails shares a story about pain, betrayal, and uncertainty, but also about finding peace, joy, and freedom. It is about how God mended all the rips and tears of her heart.
