Over the years, this has been a very healing process for me. Finding her was a blessing as I did not have the resources to self-publish. My literary agent was not a mother, yet she saw the importance of my story. Then, finally, I prayed to either make it happen or take the desire away. The challenge came in trying to get the book published. The title of the book and the chapter names came to me quickly, but it took 3 years to compile a full-length book.

The tragedy of untreated mental health complications following birth is that children are growing up without their mothers. Reflecting on my personal experience with postpartum psychosis, I know that suicide is one of the leading causes of death with relation to childbearing.
