Katie & Chris Bowick

Katie and Chris Bowick are the co-authors of Coloring Outside the Lines: A Love Story in the Gray of Addiction, Recovery & Redemption, a dual-perspective memoir that became a #1 New Release in five categories during its first week.
From the outside, they appeared to have built a successful life together, thriving careers, a growing business, and a strong marriage. Behind closed doors, however, they were navigating addiction, codependency, broken trust, family conflict, and the painful realities that nearly tore their relationship apart.
What makes their story unique is that they tell it from both sides. Chris shares his experience as a successful entrepreneur whose addiction hid beneath achievement, ambition, and outward success. Katie reveals the often-overlooked reality of loving someone through addiction, the fear, hypervigilance, resentment, faith, and hope that existed alongside it.
Today, Katie and Chris speak openly about addiction, recovery, faith, marriage, codependency, personal transformation, and the gray areas of healing that rarely fit into simple narratives. Through their writing and conversations, they help others feel less alone while offering an honest look at what it takes to rebuild trust, identity, and connection after life falls apart.
Their message is simple: healing is possible, but it rarely happens the way we expect.
