Brooke Shields
In what will strike a chord with millions of women, Brooke Shields openly shares the story of how she battled a condition that is widely misunderstood, despite the fact that it affects one in ten new mothers. She discusses the illness in the context of her own life, including her struggle to get pregnant; the high expectations she had for herself and that society as well as others placed on her as a new mom; and the roles her husband, friends, and family played as she struggled to attain her maternal footing in the midst of severe postpartum depression. And, ultimately, Brooke shares how she found a way out through talk therapy, medication, and time.
Brooke has grown up in the public eye, but this is the story of what happened to the private woman, the one the world hasn't seen before. With intelligence, humor, and startling honesty, Brooke speaks directly to the listener, making us feel close to her experience, her pain, and her ultimate triumph.

All that aside, I found that Audible had Brooke's memoir, read by the lady of the hour herself. I remember reading about how she'd suffered from severe Postpartum Depression after the birth of her first daughter and so I decided to read her account of it. Quite apart from the fact that I think she just has a very pleasant voice that's well designed, for lack of a better term, for narrating audiobooks, the story itself was very interesting and, despite the seriousness of the subject matter, not without its fair share of humor. Telling her story fully necessarily involves detailing her difficulty in getting pregnant, not to mention the miscarriage resulting from her first successful pregnancy. She then details her next pregnancy, the difficult labor and then goes on to describe the feelings of fear and hopelessness that quickly overcame her. I was skeptical at first but I soon couldn't put the player down for long. I'm often skeptical about authors narrating their own works since some just don't have the voice for it. But Brooke, as I said, just has a very pleasant voice to listen to. And at least I'll have some idea of what to watch for if I ever get married and have children.
Both informative and interesting.
