A treasure trove of support and creativity, Not The Only One also features brand new poems about motherhood written by Holly Ruskin and song lyrics written by the author of the book, multi-award-winning musician Rachel Mason who was herself diagnosed with postnatal depression after the births of her children.
This book is a must-read for anyone who has recognised the illness in themselves and also for their family, friends and professional helpers.
