expresses the reality of fate and strength of love together

I thought this book was astounding! In it, a mother expressed from her perspective what it was like to have a premature baby. Through the eyes of the family, the reader feels everything they go through and learns to cope with the heartache and triumphs presented. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest at seeing life from different perspectives. Not only does the novel offer insight into the technology available to premature infants who stay in the NICU, it makes the reader aware of the social dilema faced by today's neonatologists. Who should live and who should die? In whole, this book brings together the reality of fate and the strength of love
