When actress Brooke Shields gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter, Rowan, she felt like the luckiest woman in the world. But moments later, everything changed. For months after the birth, all Brooke could do was lie in bed and stare at the wall. When she wasn't sobbing her heart out she felt desperate and isolated, and she dreaded Rowan's presence. Whenever she looked at her daughter, a numbness swept over her and froze her to the core. All Brooke wanted to do was kill herself. Although she didn't realise this at the time, Brooke was suffering from postnatal depression, a crippling condition that affects one in ten new mothers. With astonishing honesty and a refreshingly wry sense of humour, Brooke Shields writes about her battle with postnatal depression, and her slow path to recovery. In this brave and warm memoir, she lifts the lid on this taboo subject that is still widely misunderstood, giving hope to the countless women who suffer from this debilitating illness.

Brooke Shields never had what anyone would consider an ordinary life. Raised in Manhattan by single mother Teri after her divorce from Brooke's aristocratic father, Brooke's early years with her mother seemed magical. Brooke was such a beautiful baby that at 11 months old, she became a model, beginning a remarkable career that made Brooke the most famous child, and then teen, of her generation. Teri became almost as famous as the typical pushy stage mum. However the two stayed close throughout and now Brooke confronts her feelings after her mother's death.

Brooke Shields erzählt von ihrem außergewöhnlichen Leben, das von der Scheidung ihrer Eltern geprägt war, als sie nur fünf Monate alt war. Ihre Mutter Teri, selbst Schauspielerin, übernahm die Erziehung und hatte große Pläne für Brooke. Bereits im Alter von elf Monaten begann Brooke mit dem Modeln, und mit dreizehn erlangte sie durch ihre Rolle in "Pretty Baby" Berühmtheit. Teri managte ihre Tochter und schützte sie vor den Gefahren des Showbusiness, doch privat war sie eine schwierige Person, die emotional verletzend und alkoholabhängig war. Brooke musste sogar eingreifen, um ihre Mutter in eine Entzugsklinik einzuweisen. Ihre Beziehung war von Tränen und Lachen geprägt, doch als Brooke begann, unabhängig zu werden, wurde das Band zwischen ihnen auf die Probe gestellt. Entscheidungen und Opfer in Brookes Erwachsenenleben veränderten ihr Verhältnis nachhaltig. Als Brooke selbst Mutter wurde, erkannte sie den Einfluss ihrer eigenen Erfahrungen auf ihre Erziehung. Trotz aller Konflikte war sie 2012 an der Seite ihrer Mutter, als Teri starb. Brooke teilt nun ihre ehrlichen Erinnerungen an diese komplexe Beziehung und gewährt intime Einblicke in ihren Werdegang. Ihre Geschichte berührt viele, insbesondere Mütter und Töchter.
