Jessica Cornwell is a writer living in Somerset. Born in California, she studied at Stanford and the Institute of Theatre in Barcelona before moving to London to work in film.

'A young writer with an incredible imagination' The Times
Following the birth of her twin boys, Jessica Cornwell collapsed in a fever. Alone, recovering, watching her body bruise and break, a curious thing happened: she stopped feeling.
At home, the numbness remained. Nursing her boys, Jessica hid her secret - she felt no love, only fear. Worse, vivid memories began to surface, of moments in her past she thought buried.
The miscarriage. The car crash. The violence at the hands of the boy she loved. Forced to relive each again, Jessica began to name the shadows that returned to haunt her and reclaim her life.
Birth Notes speaks with eloquent rage and searing honesty, shining a light on maternal mental health. It is the love story of a mother for her children and a woman for herself.
