Description

When Nana-Ama Danquah, a twenty-two-year-old single mother, began to suffer from a variety of depressive symptoms after giving birth to her daughter, she thought she was going crazy. Determined to portray strength in a world that often undervalues Black women's lives, she shrouded her debilitating despair in silence and denial. But when she befriends other Black women who suffer with depression, she finds the support she needs to confront the traumatic childhood events that lie beneath her grief. Twenty-five years after its initial publication, as best-selling author Andrew Solomon writes in an illuminating foreword, Willow Weep for Me "remains a brave book . . . but at the time of its writing it was humblingly audacious." Also including an afterword from the author, this groundbreaking classic is a powerful meditation on courage and a litany for survival.

"An important and moving memoir. [Danquah] describes beautifully her experiences with depression." --Kay Redfield Jamison, author of An Unquiet Mind
