"Willow Weep for Me is the powerful journey of a young black woman's descent into despair." "Meri Danquah, a "working-class broke," twenty-two-year-old single mother, began to suffer from a variety of depressive symptoms after she gave birth to her daughter, which led her to suspect that she might be going crazy. Understanding the importance of strength in a world that often undervalues black women's lives, she shrouded herself and her illness in silence and denial. But eventually, she could no longer deny the debilitating sadness that interfered with her ability to care for her daughter, to pursue her career as a writer, and to engage in personal relationships." "This book is a testimony to the universality of the severity of depression in any culture. Danquah writes with brutal honesty as she confronts her traumatic childhood events - sexual abuse, neglect, and loss - that lie beneath her grief. This is not simply a memoir about depression, it is a meditation on courage and a litany for survival."--BOOK JACKET.
