I am so thankful I’ve had the opportunity to read Infinite Miracles. As a former NICU mom, I would have loved to have had a book like this when my daughter was in the NICU. It would have been so helpful to know I wasn’t alone with many of the feelings and thoughts I was having. Though we had a very different NICU experience, there was still so much that was the same. Reading this brought up so many emotions and it helped me reflect on my experience. Katie’s storytelling brings you along on their journey in such a beautiful way and I did not want to put this book down until I was finished! I would also recommend this book to anyone who knows someone who has/had a baby in the NICU. If you haven’t experienced the NICU personally, Infinite Miracles can help you understand more of what it is like and how you can be there for someone experiencing the NICU now. I loved this book so much!!

I appreciate people writing memoirs about their personal story- especially health related journeys that are so often misunderstood.

This book was affecting. Katie’s honesty was so moving and her emotions/reactions were relatable. I think this will be so helpful for those going through similar experiences or through any traumatic situation.
