I did know through reading articles over the years, that Brooke Shields had suffered postnatal depression after the birth of her daughter Rowan. Still I was very surprised by this book, and the depth of her despair and how truly stressed out she was.
You really have to admire her for sitting down to write this book, and open up all of those scary feelings again, and for doing it in the hope that it helps other mothers realise that they are not alone, and that they can seek help.
I felt as though I could hear her voice and she was sitting on the couch next to me, telling me about her experiences. For that I think it is worthy of a 4/5.
