In this memoir, Cho lays bare her experience falling unexpectedly into postpartum psychosis. She is very honest and vulnerable with this traumatic time and the mental break from her own identity and reality. I appreciated that she was willing to share so openly about an experience around which there still seems to exist a large taboo about discussing.
