Behind the Smile; My Journey Out of Postpartum Depression by Marie Osmond

This very touching and very candid look at a very personal experience was an incredible read for me.  I felt like I was going on this journey with her, as Marie Osmond chronicled her walk through the depths of Postpartum depression.  Like many women out there, she didn't even realize what was happening to her.  This is a subject that just wasn't talked about much.  It was interesting to find that her mother had gone through it as well, but had never told her about it until she was going through it herself.  I highly recommend this book to any young mother, whether suffering with postpartum or not. It was insightful to learn how she climbed out of the darkness. There are great gifts given to any women about self esteem and the value of being a mother from reading this book!

Rating: PG
Sex-zero
Violence-zero
Profanity-zero
I rated it PG because the subject matter is somewhat dark but it is completely clean
