What We Didn't Expect

In What We Didn't Expect, Melody Schreiber, a journalist whose own son was born over two and half months early, brings together twenty acclaimed writers to share their diverse stories of premature babies. From the story of being a 'miracle baby' of undocumented immigrants, to a nurse who finds herself having premature twins; to being an adopted premature baby yourself, this collection will speak to everyone touched by the experience of premature birth and prove a welcome resource to those looking for the reassurance of shared intimacies.
