TIMOTHY SMITH is a veteran Michigan journalist and father of a micro-preemie daughter, Elizabeth.
Parents of very premature infants, often shocked and panicked by the situation in which they find themselves, have until now surprisingly few resources to consult. Now, with Miracle Birth Stories of Very Premature Babies, the information, support, and hope they so desperately need have been made available.
