Hillbilly Gothic: A Memoir of Madness and Motherhood"My family has a grand tradition. After a woman gives birth, she goes mad. I thought that I would be the one to escape."

"My family has a grand tradition. After a woman gives birth, she goes mad. I thought that I would be the one to escape." So begins Adrienne Martini's candid, compelling, and darkly humorous history of her family's and her own experiences with depression and postpartum syndrome. Illuminating depression from the inside, Martini delves unflinchingly into her own breakdown and institutionalization and traces the multigenerational course of this devastating problem. Moving back and forth between characters and situations, she vividly portrays the isolation -- geographical and metaphorical -- of the Appalachia of her forebears and the Western Pennsylvania region where she grew up. She also weaves in the stories of other women, both contemporary and historic, who have dealt with postpartum depression in all its guises, from fleeting "baby blues" to full-blown psychosis. Serious as her subject is, Martini's narrative is unfailingly engaging and filled with witty, wry observations on the complications of new motherhood: "It's like getting the best Christmas gift ever, but Santa decided to kick the crap out of you before you unwrapped it." New mothers and those who have struggled with parenthood -- whether or not they dealt with depression -- will find affirmation in this story of triumph, of escape from a difficult legacy, of hope for others, and of the courage to have another baby.Binding Type: Paperback

Not invincible but good value
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
Great value for the money. We have 3 dogs and they are pretty strong chewers. They lasted a few months but ultimately succumbed to their inevitable doom. They arrived well packaged and with no unusual odors.

One of the best indestructible dog toys we've bought
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
So we adopted a pup in December and she tears up everything! I mean, Everything! My CPAP, garden hoses, trucks seat belt and backup camera wiring. Every single dog toy with stuffing, dismantle them in minutes. So many dog toys say they are are tear proof. nope! We have tons of stuffing all over our 5 acres. Hen m wife bought these. Beside the bones she bought, these are the only things she can't seem to destroy and she loves them!!!!

BEST Dog Toys EVER! JRT approved
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 for these toys! We have terriers who have NEVER met a toy they couldn't destroy... until now. We've had them over a week an all 5 are still intact, crinkly, and squeakers squeaking - and they're played with constantly! When I tell you I've never, in all my years of JRT ownership and rescue, had a toy last 24 hours, much less a WEEK? Well, lots of you will know how astonishing that is! We've currently got 5 dogs (2 fosters, anyone looking for a project?) so the package size is perfect. Get 'em.

String but not indestructible.
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
They’re cute and strong for a dog that likes to bite into toys. Not indestructible.
