According to Postpartum Support International, 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from postpartum depression. I am 1 of those 5. When my daughter was born in 2003, I was unprepared to experience the overwhelming anger mixed with sadness that filled my days following the months after her birth.

I have written my memoir, You are Not Alone: My Experience with Postpartum Depression, as one way of helping new moms. It’s the book I needed when I was going through it. More than a memoir, it’s also a self-help book and devotional. The book can be read in 5-minute sessions, such as when mom has a quick break in the bathroom.

Below is a sample “chapter” from the book. Each begins with an excerpt from the journal I kept during the months I was experiencing PPD. Then I address the topic and offer a prompt to interact with the recorded memory.

I am currently running a sale on in-stock paperback copies for those who are local (or want to pay shipping). Here is more information.

If you are reading this after the sale ends or you are not local, you may always buy my books at these places. Please consider buying a copy to share with a new mom. Your gift could be the help she needs on the path towards healing.
