-- Allison Glock, author of "Beauty Before Comfort"
"A smart, riveting, alternately sad and amusing account of postpartum depression and psychosis...A "Girl, Interrupted" for the new-mother set."
-- Cathi Hanauer, author of "My Sister's Bones" and "The Bitch in the House"
""Hillbilly Gothic" captures the fascinating contradictions of the women of modern Appalachia. Adrienne clearly illuminates the pain and shame suffered by those with closeted mental illness, while retaining respect for the several generations of brave mothers and daughters in her family who lived through it. This book is beautifully written, thought-provoking, and slyly funny. Highly recommended."
-- Katie Allison Granju, author of "Attachment Parenting"
"Adrienne Martini has had a tough time as both a daughter and a mother, yet she brings back from the wretched edge of the maternal endeavor a book of liveliness and companionability, full of the wit and the will and even the anger that got her through the experience. This post-hillbilly madwoman knows how it is. She slips around your defenses and whispers her jokes and stories in your ear until you can't help but feel less isolated. I found her very good company."
-- Marion Winik, author of "Above Us Only Sky" and "The Lunch-Box Chronicles"
"With a rare mixture of honesty, humor, and compassion, Adrienne Martini reveals her painful family legacy of mental illness. Her own encounter with postpartum depression, which she explores fearlessly, is at once harrowing and hopeful. An inspiration to all who are touched by this most complex human condition."
-- Henry Emmons, MD, author of "The Chemistry of Joy: A Three-Step Program for Overcoming Depression Through Western Science and Eastern Wisdom"
