Mahopac, NY, August 06, 2013 --(PR.com)-- "FROM HOPE TO JOY
A Memoir of a Mother’s Determination and
Her Micro Preemie’s Struggle to Beat the Odds"
By Jennifer Degl
On the night her daughter was born—seventeen weeks early—Jennifer Degl started a journal on a sheet of paper given to her by a nurse. Once she was discharged from the hospital, a little blue notebook became Jennifer’s constant companion. Five months after the birth of her daughter, Jennifer went to write in her notebook; instead, she sat down and read her journal cover to cover. That’s when she knew she had to tell this story.
