Tiny Toes: A Couple's Journey Through Infertility, Prematurity, and Depression
Tiny Toes is a personal story of a couple struggling to create a family. The author tackles the effects of infertility, including how it almost destroyed her marriage. She illustrates the emotional trials of having a premature baby and how that, too, impacted her soul and her marriage.
She also demonstrates how she was able to overcome the depression that was keeping her from her own joy. The impact of infertility can extend to the soul of your very being. Watching your baby struggle to survive each day is not something any parent should have to endure. Yet, every day 1 in 9 babies are born too soon. Postpartum depression is being acknowledged as a disorder that occurs fairly frequently. Women who experience infertility and/or the premature birth of a child are more likely to encounter some form of depression than are women who have healthy pregnancies.
This story details the emotional trails of these complex life occurrences. In the end you'll see the transformation of the author and you will be moved by her journey.

That there are many women out there who have similar issues, although everyone has their own story. I related to this book because of all my problems with my pregnancy and then also having a premature baby!
Kelly is also a good friend of mine thanks to our hardwork and dedication to the March of Dimes-Arizona Chapter!
