Incubator Views is an exciting, moving account in which the author relays a compelling narrative from four different viewpoints-the diametrically opposing perspectives of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse, the teen mother, her younger brother, and the preemie herself. Incubator Views reveals the preemie’s struggle to survive against confounding odds in a harrowing and tragic family life and the crucial transfer to the foster care system. This story is an utterly engaging, vivid, often painful look at the struggle of distinctly different members of a family and those around them at a critical juncture in all of their lives. Liquid warmth and darkness: it surrounded me in a shroud of comfort, a gentle awakening into an awareness of my life and of the womb that held me. I sensed and responded even though I couldn’t always understand. The cocoon of peace and solace: mine until I came to sense that I shared in the life of another–larger, stronger. She may have held me in her womb; but somehow I didn’t know her. She remained a stranger that carried me down a path, provided for me, yet only acknowledged me with tears. I wondered: have I harmed her? My dependence upon her left me no choice but to wait: observe in a quiet role while our lives together, then separate, unraveled into a dark future unbeknownst to either of us.
