Melissa Harris, ONE POUND, TWELVE OUNCES: A Preemie Mother's Story of Loss, Hope, and Triumph

Author Melissa Harris joins Zibby to talk about her award-winning memoir, One Pound, Twelve Ounces, which was actually her premature son's weight at birth. The two discuss how the book grew from a blog Melissa wrote to keep family members around the world updated about her son's progress, when she realized she had PTSD from the ninety-five days she spent in the NICU, and what her life with her children looks like now.
