This book was inspired by the life-changing events that my husband and I encountered after our baby girl was born so early. Emma had to endure all kinds of setbacks, painful recoveries, and scary moments at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). While the experience was scary, it left me with life lessons that I want to share with people. In this book, I share my story about how I came to the USA and started a family with my husband, Juan. I recount how we overcame many obstacles to become parents and how the birth of our children forever transformed us. It certainly made me more resilient and resourceful, and strong than I ever thought I could be.
