The inspiring story of Juniper, a baby born too soon, gorgeously
told by her parents, both award-winning journalists. Juniper French
was born four months early, at 23 weeks' gestation. She weighed 1
pound, 4 ounces, and her twiggy body was the length of a Barbie
doll. Her head was smaller than a tennis ball, her skin was nearly
translucent, and through her chest you could see her flickering
heart. Babies like Juniper, born at the edge of viability, trigger
the question: Which is the greater act of love -- to save her, or
to let her go? Kelley and Thomas French chose to fight for
Juniper's life, and this is their incredible tale. In one exquisite
memoir, the authors explore the border between what is possible and
what is right. They marvel at the science that conceived and
sustained their daughter and the love that made the difference.
They probe the bond between a mother and a baby, between a husband
and a wife. They trace the journey of their family from its fragile
beginning to the miraculous survival of their now thriving
daughter.
