Inspired by the author's harrowing experience giving birth to her premature daughter, this book combines memoir with rigorous reporting to tell the story of neonatology. This is a field in which humanity, ethics, and science collide in dramatic and deeply personal ways as parents, doctors, and nurses grapple with sometimes unanswerable questions: When does life begin? When and how should life end? And what does it mean to be human?
