Through newly commissioned photography by award winning artist and photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn, this book unveils must-read commentary on the real life mental health experiences of 10 mothers from across the UK. They reflect the lived experiences of women, birthing people, and families across our society, and it is important that these voices are heard.
Through multi-layered storytelling of mental health, strength and survival featuring portraits, still-life imagery, audio interviews and personal letters from each of the featured women, this book challenges the stigma and silence too often associated with being mentally unwell as a trying, expecting or new parent.
Thanks to the guest contributions of people such as Louise Thompson, Hattie Brett, Amy Hart, Pippa Vosper, Shakira Akabusi and others, this book challenges and reshapes unhelpful, even harmful narratives surrounding motherhood and parenthood. A powerful ‘must read’ for everyone.
