# It's Been Pouring: The Dark Secret of the First Year of Motherhood - Hardcover

by **Rachel Papo** (Photographer), **Rachel Papo** (Author), **Hans Gremmen** (Designed by)

**A sensitively narrated photo project about postpartum depression**

Postpartum depression is in many ways no longer taboo; it is an affliction on the lips of most pregnant women as something they fear, and which they have been told counseling and medications can help. And yet - when Rachel Papo experienced it herself after the birth of both her children, and when she interviewed other women in the midst of their suffering - she realized that there is something we are still not seeing, or are only willing to look at askance. With _It's Been Pouring_, Papo sets out to capture the voices of mothers in their darkest moments, while interweaving them with her own. This collection of photographs and interviews shines a direct light on their experiences, exposing the unbearable tension that exists between the miracle of birth and the horror that follows, leading the viewer through a narrative of despair.
