I started to tie a bib around Tucker’s neck but I had the strongest desire to strangle him with it. I could see it in my mind, his head growing larger, like a balloon as his neck was cinched off by the strings. His tongue bulging, his eyes protruding, just before his skull was ready to pop--

Jodi Graham knows that this is more than the “baby blues” she is feeling, but just before she slides completely into postpartum psychosis she comes up with an unconventional solution. She takes a job as a long-haul truck driver while her husband takes over full-time care of their son.

For Jodi, motherhood is more frightening than hauling 40 tons down an icy mountain. But something happens that will force her to drive headlong into her worst fears.

Morning Star is based on Danna Hobart’s real life struggle through postpartum depression/psychosis.

None of my writing is complete until it has been critiqued by Stacy Thomas, aka zookeeper. Go read her work, she is an amazing poet. allpoetry.com/Poets/zookeeper

My toughest critic is Tiffany Tripp. She does not candy coat anything, and that is why I love her. Go read her stuff. She will blow you away! http://allpoetry.com/NoUseForAName


My claims to fame are: I used to be a "groupie" for the band Air Supply, and I was a guest on the Sally Jessie Rafael Show in an episode that aired November 30th 1994, and again in February of 1995. The show was titled "Sweet Revenge."

    Hey Danna,

    I have been trying to get ahold of you on yahoo for quite a while, but I'm guessing something is wrong with your internet...

    You should send me an e-mail or a message or something to let me know you're alright!

    Oh, and I never got your package ...I think there are issues with receiving packages to my address...because yours is the second package I never received ...

    Anyway, hopefully I hear from you soon! I miss talking to you!!!

    Ciao!

    I just read the excerpt(I'm asuming) you have posted from your book. What a struggle! And the excerpt itself is so amazing, and so sad, I couldn't imagine the feeling. I want to read more to learn more about the struggle! I just had to comment on that. I must go get your book!
