Beautiful memoir Ronald G Kellly 5.0 out of 5 stars So Much More Than I ImaginedReviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021Verified PurchaseAs the father of an HLHS warrior I wanted to read this book, yet expected to simply be torn apart by someone else that had been through my journey. Instead, as I began to read I found myself walking with Jenny, side by side, as I re-experienced the shock, the moments, the fears, the smells, the triumphs, the rejoicing, the new promise...I could go on and on. And instead of coming out of it drained from reliving my past, I felt warm...comforted....as if I were no longer alone in what I, and of course my heart warriors, have been through. We're never alone, and this incredible work by Jenny Muscatell, confirms that! Well done, and I greatly appreciate the inspiration it gave me!

I have tried to recreate events, locales, and conversations from my memories of them. In order to maintain their anonymity, in some instances I have changed the names of individuals and places. I may have changed some identifying characteristics and details such as physical properties, occupations, and places of residence. This book is raw and descriptive. Some scenes may be upsetting, particularly to those who knew the deceased. I would caution those against reading it who may be sensitive to that information. From the Inside Flap This book is dedicated to the nameless x-ray technician who took a stand, no matter his cost, to protect a tiny infant. I watched while you were dismissed.
