challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

What an intimate, terrifying, touching read. This is an incredibly brave memoir and the author's courage in divulging the details of her psychosis and the impact it had on her and the relationships she has cannot be understated. Even amongst the discussion scope of mental health, post-partum psychosis is rarely discussed, and even rarer still from the perspective of a woman of colour. Cho invites us into her life and the culture, trauma and experience that brought her to where she is, and has no interest in sugar coating a terrifying and profoundly difficult experience. Her voice and story is tragic, hopeful and invaluable.
