Wow…. What a beautifully written book
This book had be emotionally attached to the twins and just wanting everything to be ok.
This book is raw but amazing.

I thought I would find it hard to relate to the book as someone who has never wanted kids but Segal writes with such emotion and poise that it's hard not to be sucked in and feel raw by the time you close the book. A quiet, steady meditation on motherhood, community, grief, kindness and meaning, This was also a memoir that read like a thriller, each page and each scene written with excruciating tension and urgency, so that the reader feels what the mother - who could not know if her children would survive or not - felt.

This book must have been so difficult to write. It is such a beautiful piece of writing yet it’s so raw- I found myself emotionally attached to the twins willing them to get well.
It is truly a special book as Francesca and her family are inviting us into this heartfelt journey.
Highly recommended
