The Madness of Motherhood

The Madness of Motherhood By Jonathan & Martha Stone This is a story about a time packaged with pain and happiness. It is about how through the gift of friendship, a strong faith, and a loving marriage, Martha progressed from wanting to end it all to having much more to look forward to. It narrates Martha's compelling, and candid experience with mental illness and having a baby. It talks about Martha's breakdown and hospitalisation. With the complications of new motherhood and mental ill health, this is a story of daily triumph, of daily escape, hope for others and the courage to have children. It also narrates Jonathan's story from a husband's perspective, how he coped with seeing Martha fall apart, supporting her and bringing his new family out of a black hole.
