520 "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." -- Dust jacket.
