Juniper French was born four months early and weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces. She was the length of a Barbie doll. Her head was smaller than a tennis ball, her skin was nearly translucent, and through her chest you could see her flickering heart. Babies like Juniper, born at the edge of viability, trigger the question: Which is the greater act of love--to save her, or to let her go?
Thomas French and Kelley Benham French chose to fight for Juniper's life and JUNIPER is their incredible tale. In one exquisitely told memoir, the authors trace their journey from the rocky, almost scandalous beginning of their relationship, through the efforts they went through to conceive, to the miraculous survival of their daughter who is now a thriving, joyful five-year-old. Told in stunningly beautiful prose, JUNIPER is an un-put-down-able, edge-of-your-seat story about tenacity, resilience, and the unmatched power of parental love.
