The Push

Wow. This was a hard book to stomach.

The struggles this Mom faces are very real. PPD coupled with an unsupportive partner will never make a mother life easier. I honestly cannot believe all the hate I've seen this Mom get as what she was experiencing is a very real thing.

The author did an awesome job at putting you into her head and feel her emotions throughout the book. Every time her husband brushed her off it filled me with a deep sorrow for her.

So many things were done right in the book and really there isn't a great way to broach the topic. If you have an aversion to raw emotions or child loss maybe stay away. If you've never dealt with PPD or are judgemental towards those who experience it, spare your negativity and move on.
