In this intimate and moving
graphic memoir, Teresa Wong writes and illustrates the story of her struggle
with postpartum depression in the form of a letter to her daughter Scarlet.
Equal parts heartbreaking and funny, Dear
Scarlet perfectly captures the quiet desperation of those suffering from PPD
and the profound feelings of inadequacy and loss. As Teresa grapples with her fears and anxieties and grasps at
potential remedies, coping mechanisms, and her mother's Chinese elixirs, we
come to understand one woman's battle against the cruel dynamics of postpartum
depression.



Dear Scarlet is a
poignant and deeply personal journey through the complexities of new motherhood,
offering hope to those affected by PPD, as well as reassurance that they are
not alone.
