Easy to read but gosh this was beautiful. Whilst it’s a story of the NICU, it’s also largely a story of women. And the women is this book are incredible.

Actual rating 4.5

I feel truly honoured to have been able to read this account of the author and her amazing twins as they all fought for survival. I may not have children myself, but this story spoke to me on so many levels I felt as if I were right there with Francesca and all the other mums featured.

I cannot praise the author enough for putting her story out there and I sincerely hope it helps other, in some small way, to cope should the same thing ever happen to them.

Huge thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy.

A heartwarming story of what it means to be a mother when nothing goes to plan exploring grief, gratitude and sisterhood.
