Saul

Literary Fiction

Rosemary Kay

Authors: Rosemary Kay
Print type: BOOK

Description:

An equally heartwarming and heartbreaking book. This is the story of Saul, a baby boy born prematurely weighing 1 pound, 4 ounces. In 'his own words', brave little Saul gives a day by day account of what his life is like in the neonatal intensive-care unit: Learning to breathe, cheering up his parents, the sound of the busy unit, remembering his "Perfect Red Sea" (the womb), how he likes Nurse Clean Flowers and talking to his grandfather. He speaks of all he must endure to do "This Living" and getting out of his incubator no matter how hard it seems. Although it is listed as fiction, it's more an autobiography then a novel. A must read for parents/grandparents of preemies and NICU personnel.
