Description
If you enjoy memoirs, this book is a must-read. In this gripping memoir, Jennifer Degl brings her readers on an emotional roller coaster: from the decision to get pregnant despite warnings from her doctors-and nearly dying four times during her pregnancy-to the birth of her daughter, Joy, seventeen weeks early, and this tiny baby's fight to survive. On the night her daughter was born, Jennifer started a journal on a sheet of paper given to her by a nurse. Once she was discharged from the hospital, a little blue notebook-in which she wrote everything-became Jennifer's constant companion. Five months after the birth of her daughter, Jennifer went to write in her notebook; instead, she sat down and read her journal cover to cover. That's when she knew she had to tell this story. A remarkable story, "From Hope to Joy" is filled with love, determination, strength, hope-and finally Joy. Scroll up and grab your copy today!
