What every hopeful parent should know about infertility treatment, miscarriage and micro preemie birth

Melissa Harris’s powerful new memoir is about a baby’s fight for survival and a mother’s perseverance.

One Pound, Twelve Ounces: A preemie mother’s story of loss, hope, and triumph came out last month and covers infertility and premature birth.

Indeed Harris’s dream of becoming a mother was shattered when a fertility doctor told her she might never have another child because of a physical anomaly.

But determined to persevere, she underwent nine surgeries, a year of fertility treatments and endured multiple miscarriages.

And when finally pregnant, Harris was told her baby, Sam, was at risk.

Playing Doctor: Part Two: Residency (Blundering along with imposter syndrome) is due out in December and covers residency training with increased responsibility and fear.

Indeed it follows on from Lawrence’s recent Playing Doctor: Part One: Medical School (Stumbling through with amnesia) about transforming from an uncertain, head injured, liberal-arts student into a medical doctor.

Certainly Lawrence was not a typical med student. For example, he snuck out of hospital while on-call to audition for television shows so that he could pay the rent!
