I first heard about this book on oprah. I thought Brook Shields was honest and heartfelt. And that is the overwhelming feeling that I get from this book. It's what she went through during and after her pregnancy. It is a truly heartfelt book. She does mention the special issues she has to deal with because she is a celebrity but there is no self pity. She comes across as a mature woman who had to go through hell for a specific period in her life.
It is an excellent book. Speaking as someone who has suffered post natal depression, it was eerily accurate. And it is not even a little bit self indulgent. Absolute must read for someone who has suffered from post-natal depression. An excellent read for pregnant women. A very good book for all the other women.
