Perez felt the need to write this book because of the lack of books that address the emotional experience of the parents of premature infants. She acknowledges the fact that giving birth to a premature infant has a grueling impact on everyone in the family and even the medical staff who cares for the infant. Perez explains, “I understand the guilt anxiety, fear, and host of other emotion that come along with parenting a preemie.” She continues to explain that many women do not know they are going to give birth to a premature baby, while others are fully aware they may give birth to a premature infant.
