______________________
Catherine Cho's son was three months old when she and her husband left home to introduce him to their families.
Catherine herself could never have envisaged how the trip would end for her – surfacing in an involuntary psychiatric ward, separated from her husband and child, unable to understand who she was, or remember how she got there.
In her two weeks on the ward, Catherine turned to her notebook to reconstruct who she was, piece by piece, from the fragments of her life as they drifted back to her. The result is this powerful exploration of psychosis and motherhood, at once intensely personal, yet holding within it a universal experience – of how we love, live and understand ourselves in relation to each other.

Raw and Rivetting.
after James Grey's A million little pieces, one can never be sure if Truth is told. but if it has been told here...it's so scary because , we all have been there in some of these places. the distance between reality and madness or alternate reality is scarily thin. I couldn't stop listening and understanding, remembering my grandmother who had been through several traumas during partition and eventually slipped into a different world. she came out sometimes, but she liked being in this other world we couldn't see. And hearing this I felt I got some answers.

A mom's memoir of post partum psychos
A story full of sorrow. But the book is more like a documentation and the story lacks structure and coherence. A good read for people who have not read much about depression.
