About the Book

This book is about my daughter, Laura. She was born six weeks premature during a thunderstorm that caused the hospital electricity to go out for several minutes. The incubator that she was sleeping in turned off. She went without oxygen and her body temperature dropped below normal before the nurse attendant noticed. Because of this, her brain went without oxygen for a while. Later her condition was labeled Cerebral Palsy. She also developed a seizure disorder.
