One Pound, Twelve Ounces

A Preemie Mother's Story of Loss, Hope, and Triumph

Beschreibung

Plans. Everyone makes them. Life rarely follows them. After years of infertility and multiple miscarriages, Melissa Harris is dismayed to find herself about to give birth at just twenty-three weeks pregnant-but she discovers a fierceness in herself and in her micropreemie son, Sam, as he proves that even the tiniest of us can put up one hell of a fight.

Autor

Melissa Harris is a single mother of two children living in Oakland, California, where she was raised. She was on the fast track to being a partner in a mid-size ad agency when she gave birth to her second child, Sam, and the trajectory of her life changed. Melissa is now a work-from-home account manager for two virtual creative agencies in the Bay Area. In her free time, she drives kids from activities to appointments to playdates, volunteers at the neonatal intensive care unit at Alta Bates Hospital where Sam was born, and helps her congresswoman fight for better healthcare for all Americans. She lives in Oakland, California.
