Since other authors have added their own books, I'm adding mine. Love Has Its Ups and Downs is available free (set your own price) at Smashwords.com and is a guide to marriage with a bipolar partner. There is a lot of our life story in the book, but it's mostly information about what to expect, what seems to work for us and for others in support groups I belong to, and some ideas of how to think about and deal with episodes.

I'm glad someone brought up the topic of some of the books being "triggering" and wanted to mention that the Danielle Steele book should be handled with care, particularly if your loved one is dealing with depression or suicidal thoughts, or if someone you love has recently died from suicide. Get some distance or talk to someone about it. Even people without a diagnosis can be hurt by books that touch raw wounds. True stories can be too true sometimes.
Thanks for this!
