Reader's Review

"I admire Jessie for her honesty and frankness. It is difficult for all of us to discuss our inner most feelings. She has done this in her detailed explanation of what it was really like from the inside out. As a nurse and a midwife, mother and grandmother it has given me an new insight into how post partem depression can affect a new mom. Her story will enable all of us to understand and to help others who are suffering. It is truly a brave and powerful book."
