What We Didn't Expect by Melody Schreiber

In What We Didn't Expect, Melody Schreiber, a journalist whose own son was born over two and half months early, brings together twenty acclaimed writers to share their diverse stories of premature babies. From the story of being a 'miracle baby' of undocumented immigrants, to a nurse who finds herself having premature twins; to being an adopted premature baby yourself, this collection will speak to everyone touched by the experience of premature birth and prove a welcome resource to those looking for the reassurance of shared intimacies.
Melody Schreiber is a freelance journalist whose articles and essays have been published by The Atlantic, Catapult, NPR, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Pacific Standard, Vice, Wired, PBS Newshour, and others. She has appeared on CNN and Feature Story News. She lives in Washington, D.C.
