APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
With the frank and conversational honesty of an old friend speaking across the kitchen table, Brooke Shields reveals her struggle with postpartum depression. This widespread and still-taboo illness struck Shields without warning—and she decided to use her experience to launch a rich, complex discussion about mental illness and the cultural expectations of womanhood, motherhood, and femininity. Down Came the Rain is an inspiring and empowering story of Shields’ determined battle with a too-often-misunderstood condition. It’s made even more intimate when we hear it laid out in Shields' own voice.
