I couldn’t put this book down! I really enjoyed getting to know the daily life of the author and her family as she struggled to become pregnant and then gave birth to a micropremie. The author wrote very descriptively and at times it felt like I was living the experience through her. She also made an effort to share all of the personal and private feelings, emotions and experiences she went though in the course of her failed pregnancies and very early birth. She gave a voice to PTSD as well as the many other mental health struggles parents in her situation may go through. I’m so glad I read this book and really appreciate the ARC I received through netgalley and the publisher!

As a parent that has gone through fertility treatment and NICU/Preemie-hood, this book gripped me in so many ways. There is no good way to explain what you and your family go through. This book made me feel like I was being seen and heard. It will make you feel all the emotions. Good and bad. It’s beautifully written.
