At the age of twenty-seven, Mary Cregan loses to her first-born child, a daughter she names Anna - plunging Cregan into suicidal despair. Decades later, sustained by her work, a second marriage, and a son, Cregan weaves together literature and research with details from her long-buried medical records, she writes of her own ordeal. Perceptive, intimate, and elegantly written, Cregan vividly depicts the pain and ongoing stigma of clinical depression while offering insight into its management and hope for those still struggling.
