About
This is the frightfully relatable but ever so raw memoir of a woman’s struggle with early motherhood, all whilst battling the demons of mental illness in the midst of keeping her marriage together. The story tells of a mother’s fight to keep her family afloat, her sex life alive and her sanity intact, even though the person she once was, is no longer to be found.
It’s a very honest book on motherhood that you will find hard to put down. Ride the emotional train along with the author as she tackles the daily grind of motherhood, wife life and the suffocating grip of anxiety head on.

Finished your book just then. Hope you’re proud of yourself for what you have overcome and accomplished. What a great read!

So much respect for a woman who can speak their raw truth and experience, rather than the standard “towing the party line” of how women are supposed to think/feel/act for other’s comfort.

Absolutely love this. Maybe because I can relate to it in many ways. The way it’s written gives a humorous insight to mental health. Everyone should read it!

The only book I've read in less than a day. A raw, open and insightful insight into the authors life and all the ups and downs that come with the 3 M's.

I read the book in one go and absolutely loved it. It sent me through a few emotions, one minute belly laughing and the next shedding a little water works. WHO could put the book down?

A compelling read with all the aspects being quite well delineated. This book is recommended to anyone who is willing to explore literature that touches upon issues pertaining to what has been dealt with here and also for someone who is willing to get a greater insight over the term “Mental Health”

The author has quite well stated her views and the same can be perceived by the chapters and its title which go as:- Motherhood, Stress, Anxiety etc. depict the analytical side of the author which has been verily put to use here. It is worth taking note here that the author has in her book used lucidity as a greater tool and the major intent behind her writing could be perceived as being able to create more awareness about the aspects and the presence of simplicity of the presentation and usage of the language marks the authenticity of the same and the combined effect being that it is a must read for everyone.

This is the book I wished had been available during my pregnancy and my baby’s first weeks of life. Penni Fagan’s voice is reassuring and relatable, her curiosity is infectious and her writing is very deep and comes straight from her heart which is just what people in the trenches of early parenthood need. An empowering resource.

The 3 M's: Motherhood, Marriage & Mental Health is what we called a true page turner!
Amazingly woven like an interesting spell. I didn't think this book was going to be this good. It was , as you might expect , engaging , a total different piece of art from every aspect.
It sets a very high bar for whatever she does that comes next.

A book that makes the reader work and places us in the protagonists shoes and succeeds in translating visual and lovely experiences into visceral ones for the reader too. The memoir is quite gripping and will probably not be liked by everyone. But if you want to try out something outstanding and inspiring, give this one a try.

I'd recommend this book to everyone who would like to read a good and inspiring literature.
The book is written in a very interesting way and flushed with knowledge.

It is very rare for a book to have its emotions and knowledge live beyond the pages, and at the same time let it transcend its own genre into something else. The 3 M's: Motherhood, Marriage & Mental Health does that, and more.
Five stars read for me!!

That was an incredible read Penni. Thank you (and ray ray) for being so honest and open about your lives. There are definitely a few similarities between both our marriages and definitely gave me a clearer perspective on what my wife goes through with her anxiety.

Well to say in a few words 'it was like it is me to the exact wording, but within me and something until now I realise someone else has and is the same'. It is to be completely honest, scary reading it, and I'm going to read it again over.
I don't know you, but I think you may have just hopefully changed my life for good, fingers crossed.
I just want to holey and completely thank you in advance for putting pen to paper, you may have just saved myself and many others.
