Far beyond the trials of breastfeeding and getting her baby to sleep, Aaisha's experience was the antithesis of everything she had ever been told about motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen her second pregnancy ended in miscarriage, Aaisha's psychosis returned. This time, however, she was blindsided by the unimaginable: voices urging her to stab her daughter and to harm innocent people. Aaisha felt evil, worthy of taking her own life. Yet, each time she sought medical help, she was turned away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith unflinching honesty, Aaisha takes readers beyond the vitriol and blame flung at women—particularly women of colour—suffering from postpartum psychosis. Her story is a clarion call to increase awareness of a condition that need never result in tragedy and to build support for those affected by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536172859628,"sku":"9781459754508","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781459754508-a-mom-like-that.jpg?v=1776379035"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/aaisha-alvi.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
