Description

A raw and honest portrayal of postpartum depression in graphic novel form.

Marietta and Chuck are overjoyed to be expecting a baby, but the reality of childbirth shatters their fairy tale. Marietta struggles with a difficult birth, a slow-to-appear maternal instinct, and a body she no longer recognises. As she grapples with these challenges, she wonders if she’ll ever feel like a mother or love her baby. The question arises: would a proxy mom do a better job?

Proxy Mom offers a humorous yet realistic look at postpartum depression, a problem experienced by many new mothers. This graphic novel provides insight into overcoming these struggles and finding hope amidst the challenges. It is perfect for new mothers, their partners, and anyone interested in mental health and family relationships.
