520    In a dark, compassionate and honest story, the author, 
       after undergoing several unexpected health issues after 
       the birth of her first child, shares her experiences 
       dealing with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and what she
       calls female rage, and how she was able to reconnect with 
       her body to balance physical and emotional changes. 
520    What if labor does not end with pregnancy but continues 
       into a mother's postpartum life? How can the fiercest love
       for your child and the deepest wells of grief coexist in 
       the same moment? How has society neglected honest 
       conversation around the significant physical changes new 
       mothers experience? Could real healing occur if 
       generations of women were fluent in the language of their 
       bodies? Molly Caro May grapples with these questions as 
       she undergoes several unexpected health issues--pelvic-
       floor dysfunction, incontinence, hormonal imbalance--after
       the birth of her first child, Eula. While she and her 
       husband navigate the ups and downs of new parenthood, May 
       moves between shock, sadness, and anger over her body's 
       betrayal. She finally identifies the root of her struggle 
       as premenstrual dysphoric disorder and so begins her 
       exploration of what she calls female rage. The process 
       leads May to an overdue conversation with her body in an 
       attempt to balance the physical changes she experiences 
       with the emotional landscape opening up before her. Body 
       Full of Stars is dark and tender, honest and corporeal. It
       reveals deeper truths about how disconnected many modern 
       women are from their bodies. Most of all, it is a 
       celebration of the greatest story of all time: mothers and
       daughters, partners and co-parents, and the feminine power
       surging beneath it all.
