When the Bough Breaks is the inspirational tale of one woman's recovery from heartbreak, postnatal depression and OCD in order to live a fulfilling family life.
Ali Sanders, a school librarian, lives in Stoke with her husband, Paul, their son, Henry, and their Devon Rex cat, Teddy. After Henry was born, Ali had postnatal depression, which, combined with the sleep deprivation brought on by her OCD, led to a breakdown. Now recovered, she writes about her experiences and is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness.
