Face Off

Helena was looking forward to her second child and loved it before it was even born. But after the birth, things took a turn. The baby's cries grated on her nerves, and every day she felt worse. After her partner left for work, she would cry for hours while trying to soothe her children's crying. She had become a mother of two daughters, yet she felt she couldn't give anything to either of them. Her love for the baby was replaced by deep depression and a feeling of inadequacy. Hatred. A sense of worthlessness. If she killed herself, she would find relief... At her lowest point, she decides to seek professional help, hoping it will help her understand what is happening to her. Will she ever be able to love her daughters the way they deserve?

The book is based on a true story. It describes the darkest corners of a mental disorder that, although not visible at first glance, is destroying a young mother from the inside out. Does Helena have a chance to win her battle, or is she forever condemned to a life that none of us would want to live?
