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.
