Synopsis
In this remarkably candid and sometimes heartbreaking memoir of her several unsuccessful attempts to become pregnant (agonizingly, she is informed of one pregnancy's failure seconds before she has to go on stage at an awards show), her eventual success, and its unexpected aftermath, actress and model Brooke Shields is at first joyful at the birth of her baby girl, Rowan. However, she is soon overcome by crippling postpartum depression, a condition that leaves her all but incapable of looking after the child. DOWN CAME THE RAIN, the story of her long, slow climb back to normality, is refreshingly free of self-pity. Shields is buoyed by the support of her husband, comedy writer Chris Henchy, and the invaluable help of her baby's nurse, who ministers to Shields as much as to her child. RAIN's ultimate message is that the many millions of women suffering symptoms like hers are not alone, as evidenced by the numerous stories of similar experiences and messages of support Shields has included here.

Publisher's Note
In this compelling memoir, Brooke Shields talks candidly about her experience with postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter, and provides millions of women with an inspiring example of recovery.
When Brooke Shields welcomed her newborn daughter, Rowan Francis, into the world, something unexpected followed-a crippling depression. Now, for the first time ever, in Down Came the Rain, Brooke talks about the trials, tribulations, and finally the triumphs that occurred before, during, and after the birth of her daughter.
In what is sure to strike a chord with the millions of women who suffer from depression after childbirth, America's sweetheart Brooke Shields shares how she, too, battled this debilitating condition that is widely misunderstood, despite the fact that it affects many new mothers. She discusses the illness in the context of her life, including her struggle to get pregnant, the high expectations she had for herself and that others placed on her as a new mom, and the role of her husband, friends, and family as she struggled to attain her maternal footing in the midst of a disabling depression. And, ultimately, Brooke shares how she found a way out through talk therapy, medication, and time.
Exhibiting an informed voice and a self-deprecating sense of humor, this first memoir from a woman who has grown up before the eyes of the world is certain to attract the attention and empathy of many new mothers and fans alike.

Industry reviews
"This brave memoir doesn't shy away from Shields's most difficult moments, including her suicidal thoughts, clearly showing the despair postpartum depression can wreak."
