The Birds Still Sing by Grace Tallman

The birth of a baby can bring in a jumble of strong emotions, sometimes including depression. Most new moms experience postpartum depression after childbirth. This is very real and very difficult for most women. Symptoms are more intense and last longer, and may eventually interfere with your way of life. Grace Tallman has experienced such and successfully emerged out of it stronger and wiser. Now, she wrote The Birds Still Sing: My Journey of Resilience Through Postpartum Depression to help other women.

The Birds Still Sing by Grace Tallman chronicles surviving and thriving despite postpartum depression. This is a real-life account of a young mother who was thrown down the depths of darkness, but she was a formidable force that can’t be stopped. Every single traumatic event and heartbreaking experience from Tallman’s childhood to early married life was carefully examined to understand the inner workings behind it. Looking at all angles and aspects built a conclusion that pulled her through the throes of depression. Each chapter quotes lines from the famous and influential in deepening the chapter’s theme. 

The book was brutally honest but brilliantly narrated to stir emotions deep within.
