great book 
Our daughter (now 3 and perfectly fine) was premature. Like the author's wife, I also had HELLP and had to be delivered early. The NICU is one terrifying place. Reading this book 3 years later helped to put everything that happened to us in perspective.

Great Book! 
This was a great book. I had to read a book for a counseling class I am in, and it totally helped me to understand what parents are feeling and going through.

We need more books like this one.
A good read. Premature birth can be traumatic for not only mom and dad, but the extended family as well. I have found that there are not enough books on the subject. This author's work adds to the list of quality material available.I would reccomend this book as a companion to Equal to the Task, by Dail R. Cantrell. The books are similiar enough to be read together. Cantrell's book was a Book of the Year nominee, and fills in gaps left by this book. Both books present a powerful message.

This is an important book for any parent
While this is certainly a profoundly important book for families of extremely premature babies, I think it's almost as valuable for all parents of kids of every age. When you get mad at your teenager, frustrated at your eight-year-old, stressed out from the demands of juggling work and day-care, or just about any challenge that comes with parenting, reflecting on what William and Kim Woodwell did go give two little infants a shot a life will put everything in perspective for you. After reading this book, I gave my perfectly healthy nine-year-old daughter a bear hug and couldn't let go.
And if you're in a position to give counsel or advice to new parents (hospital social worker, physician, clergy), you'll better understand the incredibly complex range of emotions that parents in this situation are trying to cope with.
