Learning to Fly is one woman's story of resilience and perseverance in the shadow of postpartum and depression. Like a paper plane blowing about on the breeze, it is the journey of a thousand little pushes and pulls, charting the physical, mental and spiritual path of someone lost in the everyday. She lost a future but gained an opportunity. To see life's ups and downs through the laws of flight.
Postpartum, gravity. Pushing her down.
Those around her, the thrust. Pushing her forward.
Depression, the drag, pushing her back. Everyday.
But finally, lift. When she learned to draw on each element, and use every tip discovered along the way, to finally climb back into the sky.
Using her love of storytelling, Jacqueline strolls through this memoir with purpose and humour to both an introspective and honest end. She shares some difficult memories from her life as a mother and wife, whilst offering practical advice to anyone who is trying, also, to make peace with depression.
"How do they do it mum?"
"Do what sweetheart?"
"Get the plane to fly?"
She reached into her handbag for a pen and drew a little paper plane on the inside of her diary.
Discover how to find lift in life again through this quirky little memoir, Learning to Fly.
