When Brooke Shields welcomed her newborn daughter, Rowan
Francis, into the world, something unexpected followed-a
crippling depression. Now, for the first time ever, in Down
Came the Rain, Brooke talks about the trials, tribulations,
and finally the triumphs that occurred before, during, and
after the birth of her daughter. In what is sure to strike a chord with the millions of women
who suffer from depression after childbirth, America's
sweetheart Brooke Shields shares how she, too, battled this
debilitating condition that is widely misunderstood, despite
the fact that it affects many new mothers. She discusses the
illness in the context of her life, including her struggle
to get pregnant, the high expectations she had for herself
and that others placed on her as a new mom, and the role of
her husband, friends, and family as she struggled to attain
her maternal footing in the midst of a disabling depression.
And, ultimately, Brooke shares how she found a way out
through talk therapy, medication, and time. Exhibiting an informed voice and a self-deprecating sense of
humor, this first memoir from a woman who has grown up
before the eyes of the world is certain to attract the
attention and empathy of many new mothers and fans alike.
