Hillbilly Gothic: A Memoir of Madness and Motherhood"My family has a grand tradition. After a woman gives birth, she goes mad. I thought that I would be the one to escape."

"My family has a grand tradition. After a woman gives birth, she goes mad. I thought that I would be the one to escape." So begins Adrienne Martini's candid, compelling, and darkly humorous history of her family's and her own experiences with depression and postpartum syndrome. Illuminating depression from the inside, Martini delves unflinchingly into her own breakdown and institutionalization and traces the multigenerational course of this devastating problem. Moving back and forth between characters and situations, she vividly portrays the isolation -- geographical and metaphorical -- of the Appalachia of her forebears and the Western Pennsylvania region where she grew up. She also weaves in the stories of other women, both contemporary and historic, who have dealt with postpartum depression in all its guises, from fleeting "baby blues" to full-blown psychosis. Serious as her subject is, Martini's narrative is unfailingly engaging and filled with witty, wry observations on the complications of new motherhood: "It's like getting the best Christmas gift ever, but Santa decided to kick the crap out of you before you unwrapped it." New mothers and those who have struggled with parenthood -- whether or not they dealt with depression -- will find affirmation in this story of triumph, of escape from a difficult legacy, of hope for others, and of the courage to have another baby.Binding Type: Paperback

Sharp as A Tack.
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
This seersucker pinstripe suit is an excellent choice for warmer weather events like spring weddings, prom, or a summer party. The lightweight fabric is highly breathable, keeping you cool while still looking completely polished and sharp. The slim-fit tailoring gives it a modern silhouette, and the light grey pinstripe has a great classic look. It feels well-constructed but remains perfectly comfortable for hours of socializing. It’s a wonderful option if you want a stylish, sophisticated look that beats the heat!

Lightweight Seersucker Suit That’s Great for Warm-Weather Events
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
This 2-piece seersucker suit is a solid option if you need something lightweight and breathable for events like weddings, parties, or outdoor occasions. The seersucker fabric is the main highlight—it’s designed to stay cool and not cling to your body, which makes a big difference in warmer weather.
The slim fit gives it a more modern look without being overly tight. It’s clean and put-together, especially for the price point. That said, depending on your build, you might need minor tailoring to get the perfect fit.
The material is mostly polyester with a bit of stretch, so it’s comfortable and allows some movement. It doesn’t have the same feel as higher-end suits, but it still looks good for casual to semi-formal settings like a summer wedding or something like the Kentucky Derby.
Overall, this is a budget-friendly suit that does what it’s supposed to. It’s lightweight, stylish enough for most occasions, and easy to wear—especially if you’re trying to stay cool without spending a lot.

See through and jacket has no structure
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey, Size: Large, Color: Light Grey
On the positive side, it does appear to be well made. The stitching is clean, the fit is decent, and overall construction seems solid for the price.
However, the material is extremely thin much thinner than expected. It’s so lightweight that it is see-through. Both the jacket and pants are unlined, which makes the suit feel even lighter and less structured. I
While I understand seersucker is meant to be breathable and comfortable this isnt even seersucker it is a striped polyester blend material. It may work in very hot climates but if you’re looking for something with more structure or durability, this is not the best option. The fabric feels about as thick as a paper towel.
Overall, decent construction, but the thinness and lack of a defined shape and lining are disappointing and makes it almost impossible to wear.

Surprisingly good product.
Size: 5X-Large, Color: Grey Black
Came exactly as suspected. When ordering a 3 piece tux I expected to find some sort of problem or something that didn't fit, but I was pleasantly surprised. Looks like the photos and fits as advertised. So very happy. Doesn't look cheap or gimmicky. Thank you!
