Amn Karim Ahmad was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan. She studied in Canada and Australia for her undergraduate and postgraduate degree respectively. After getting married she moved to Virginia, USA where she worked as an elementary school ESL teacher. Amn became a first time mother to a baby boy in September 2021. She has been vocal about her struggles with postpartum on her personal social media blogs, which motivated her to write this book in an attempt to create a connection with others like herself. Amn wrote this book on the notes app of her phone at 3am one night as she was burping her newborn. She had always wanted to write a book for her son but once she had finished typing, she realized she had written something for herself instead.
