Coloring Outside the Lines by Chris and Katie Bowick is a best seller.

Overwhelmed with gratitude.

We honestly don’t even know where to begin.

This past week has been a blur of emotions: relief, fear, excitement, exhaustion, and underneath it all, a tidal wave of gratitude.

We knew that writing this book would be raw and risky, but we didn’t know how much love and support would pour in once we finally released it into the world.

Every message. Every review. Every share. Every “I see myself in this.” You have no idea how much it means to us. It is not just numbers on a chart or a bestseller badge on Amazon (although that blew us away, too). It is the way you have let us know this story is bigger than just the two of us.

When we sat down with Post-its, half-written rants, and journal entries we swore would never see the light of day, we never imagined that strangers and friends alike would pick them up and say, “This is my story too.” But that is exactly what is happening.

Coloring Outside the Lines is not just about addiction or marriage. It is about survival, truth, and trying to love in the middle of chaos. And the fact that so many of you are resonating with it proves that the gray is real and we are not alone in it.

We don’t have an ask today. Just a thank you. For reading. For believing. For showing up in ways we could never have imagined.

This is only the beginning, and we are honored that you are walking this journey with us.

With love and fire,

Katie & Chris

P.S. Special thanks to all TWENTY TWO of you who left a review so others can also find our book in a difficult season of addiction, recovery, and redemption.
