Award-Winning Author Brings Voice to Global Threat Impacting Marriages and Families
Dallas, TX, April 08, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Foundations award winning author, Kathryn M. Lackey, was recently honored to receive a CIPA literary award for her deeply personal and faith-driven memoir, Letters from Love’s Battlefield: Triumph in the Aftermath of a Spouse’s Sexual Addiction. This award was announced at the annual Blue Lake Christian Writer’s Conference in Andalusia, AL hosted by Director, Susan Neal, of the Christian Indy Publishers Association (CIPA.) More than a literary achievement, this recognition awards her personal non-fiction rendering through a partner’s hidden addiction and sex crimes, unveiling the silent threat to marriages and families while giving a voice to its true victims, the women impacted by its devastations in cultures across the globe.

Written from the rawness of personal experience, Letters from Love’s Battlefield journals a rare glimpse into the frontlines of addiction’s emotional battlefield. Lackey shares, “Wives and partners of the addict are often blindsided and shamed while thrust into the trauma of an unforeseen battle, ill-equipped for the maze of destruction that lies ahead. Upon discovery, their lives suddenly evaporate into a twilight zone as they desperately try to distinguish what was real, and what was not.”

As luring online accessibility and societal norms continue to redefine true love and intimacy, global statistics reference a sex industry and “Porndemic” explosion with degenerative impact to families in all cultures. Blending faith, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, the author guides readers through the painful realities of progressive online sexual addiction and the silent threat it poses to today’s marriages and families. Her story compassionately identifies with women isolated, shamed, and traumatized by their partner’s addiction, and through her memoir, seeks to change the narrative at a time when conversations around marriage and sexuality, online influences, and mental health are critical in our digital evolution.
