About the book
"In the course of a routine prenatal checkup Kim Woodwell learned that she had a severe condition that would require doctors to deliver her twin girls in a matter of days. She was barely halfway through the pregnancy. The twins still had four months to go before they were officially due. The birth of the twins later that week - each weighing less than a pound and a half - marked the start of a months-long roller coaster ride that reminded the parents and everyone around them how fragile and how precious life can be. This book, a father and husband's story, is a gripping account of the day-to-day struggles facing the thousands of families every year whose pregnancies end far too soon and whose babies have to fight to survive. It offers a firsthand view of the anger, the grief, the hope, and the joy that can follow in the wake of a too-early birth. And it proves, the author says, that the smallest human beings can teach us the biggest lessons we will ever learn."--BOOK JACKET.
