I read a book once (not a pioneer story) that was so emotionally stressful that I put it down for a month before I could bring myself to finish it. And postpartum I will deliberately choose books that are sappy and will make me cry to help channel my crying from postpartum hormones into a specific outlet that I can hold up and show the family "I'm ok, just crying over a book, ignore me." I've had varying levels of postpartum depression with various deliveries. I wouldn't be able to read an emotionally stressful book during those times. Or one that makes me feel like I'm failing/should be able to do more than I am.
