This review is from: Growing Sophia: The Story of a Premature Birth (Paperback)

I am the new aunt of a 25-week preemie. In the hospitals NICU library, I found this book by chance, and I couldn't put it down. This collection of short vignettes gave me a peek into the mind of a parent of a preemie, into all the hopes and fears and trials and joys my sister and brother-and-law might experience. And right from the beginning, when my sister tearfully begged me not to do anything to hurt her baby, and a week later, when the strain and exhaustion in her voice were becoming obvious... I felt like I had some point of reference, having read Barsuhn's excellent work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Preemie Parents: Give this book to family members, June 5, 2003

While my baby was in the NICU I thought this book would be specifics about a baby I didn't know...Wrong! A wonderful story that perfectly touches on the things ALL preemie parents go through. A quick read and a must read for those intimately involved with a premature child.

This review is from: Growing Sophia: The Story of a Premature Birth (Paperback)

My wife was given this book by the Social Worker in our NICU...I just read the first paragraph and couldn't put it down...each description, physical and emotional is exactly what my wife and I are going through...I am going to order another copy and give it to our "premie" daughter when she is old enough to fathom what me, my wife, and her went through. This book is a MUST for all parents enduring this rollercoaster of a ride....
