A memoir of pregnancy and mental illness by Kristin Hersh, founder of the rock band Throwing Muses. Rat Girl chronicles her unraveling, recovery, unplanned pregnancy, and birth of her first son. Hersh's story is marked by turmoil and transformation, as she navigates misdiagnosis, a suicide attempt, and the challenges of motherhood. The result is a visceral and brave account told in Hersh's unique voice. This memoir offers a powerful exploration of one woman's journey towards healing and self-discovery.
