Description
Amy Brett's harrowing account of her baby girl's premature birth and subsequent fight for survival is a heart-wrenching tale of medicalised motherhood and the impossible choices that come with it. When her baby girl was born just 24 weeks and six days into her pregnancy, Amy and her family were thrust into a terrifying rollercoaster ride of neonatal care. As Amy navigates the neonatal setting, she is faced with impossible decisions and heart-wrenching moral dilemmas. Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, a love story between a mother and her child emerges, defying the odds time and time again. This is a testament to the courage and endurance of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and a powerful reminder of the need for greater compassion and family integration in the neonatal setting.
