Summary
Details

You are not alone. There is help and there is hope and you will recover.

That is the message from this stigma-breaking true story. Almost immediately after she gave birth to baby Natalie, Lorna May Davies developed postpartum psychosis, a condition suffered by only one in one thousand women.

Her harrowing but ultimately joyful memoir shines light on this rare and terrifying illness, revealing exactly why and how she developed it, and how she recovered from it. By drawing attention to it, she hopes to help people comprehend and overcome this little-understood illness.
