More than one out of 10 new mothers experience post-partum depression (PPD), yet few women seek help. After Marie Osmond, beloved singer and TV talk show host, gave birth to her seventh child (four of her children are adopted), she became increasingly depressed. One night, she handed over her bank card to her babysitter, got in her car, and drove north-with no intention of returning until she had emerged from her crisis. After she went public with her own experiences with PPD on Oprah and Larry King Live, the response was overwhelming. Now collaborating with a doctor who helped her through her ordeal, Marie Osmond will share the fear and depression she overcame, and reveal how she put it all behind her and is moving on with her life.

In Smiles from Around the World, Ingrid Mårn presents a narrative of travel, learning, personal growth, and the subtle impact of globalization on the life and mind of a young person who is European by heritage and global through experience. Ingrid accomplishes that which few are able to: the bonding of prose and photograph to communicate the combination of personal and collective experience. While this work contains personal reflection, deeply enmeshed is the impact that others have had on her life, and her personal and professional growth through her encounters with peoples of the world. One also finds a subtle expression of hope for her children as for children all over the world, that some day the similarities in their collective personalities, goals and ambitions, desires and travails, will help to make this a more peaceful, less violent world.
