— Joel "Gator" Warsh, MD, MSc

“The Alchemy of Motherhood is a must for the bookshelves of childbearing women. By sharing her story, Keen helps shine a necessary light on the often overlooked and undertreated mental health struggles of new mothers.”

“The Alchemy of Motherhood is a book every expecting, new, and seasoned mother needs to read. Casey Keen’s shared experiences will help them feel heard, seen, and, most importantly, validated.”

“With a blend of research and personal narrative, The Alchemy of Motherhood sheds new light on the difficulties of giving birth in a health care system that has lost sight of what’s best for mothers and babies. It doesn’t only examine the problems, however: Casey Keen gives us a better way forward. I wish this book had existed before I had my own babies!”
