In 1980- when she was 15- Shields starred in The Blue Lagoon. In the movie- her character accidentally becomes pregnant- and when her son is born- he intuitively finds his way to her breast as Shields looks on with love and contentment. The irony of this scene isnt lost on the grown-up Shields- who not only did not become pregnant accidentally—numerous IVF cycles and a miscarriage preceded the 2003 birth of her daughter—but suffered a devastating aftermath to that birth. With the birth of their daughter- she and her husband were unprepared for the postpartum depression that Shields suffered. Shields reads her own account- providing a very personal and emotional glimpse into what should have been a joyous time in her life- but tragically wasnt. A seasoned actress used to the spotlight- Shields does a stellar job reading her own words with great depth and feeling- yet her tone portrays the strength she believes she gained through this experience.
