Dear
Pec and Shoshana,
Thank
you! After reading Beyond the Blues, I immediately ordered
several copies and shared them with colleagues. It is
a wonderful resource, easy to read and full of practical
wisdom. I've worked with postpartum families for many
years and learned a great deal reading your book.
"I'm here for you."
