Contest -- Book: Down Came The Rain

Whoohoo. New contest, new book to give away. I think we'll run this for the remainder of February. I received two paperback copies of the book Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression from a person over at bookreporter.com. There will be two winners.

Overview of DOWN CAME THE RAIN (Hyperion; May 2006; trade paperback edition):

When Brooke Shields welcomed her first newborn daughter to the world, her joyful expectations were quickly followed by something unexpected -- a crippling depression. In what is sure to strike a chord with the millions of women who suffer from depression after childbirth, Brooke Shields shares how she, too, battled a 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.
