You Are My Light
The protagonist is a new mother. But what should be the happiest time in her life is instead shrouded in dark postpartum depression. The deadening routine, oppressive isolation, and constant tiredness turn her into a shadow of her former self. Which way out? And what can we do to understand a woman suffering from postpartum depression?
