Every family has a story. It typically begins with the dream of having a child. Rarely however does the dreamer imagine the possible obstacles, difficulties or risks when dreaming about becoming parents. And when a pregnancy ends unexpectedly or becomes high risk the story of that family is very different than what they ever imagined.
Twin to Twin: From High-Risk Pregnancy to Happy Family is the story of Crystal and Ed Duffy and their journey towards and through parenthood. Crystal Duffy takes the reader on a journey that is gut-wrenching and uplifting. Hope inspiring, funny, and terrifying all at the same time, this is a wonderful book to add to your reading list this winter. It isn’t only for mothers who have gone through a difficult pregnancy, but is, as Crystal Duffy explains, “…for all women that journey through the mysterious and (sometimes dangerous) path of pregnancy into motherhood.”
I believe that stories have the power to encourage us to keep going, even when our own story is hard or is different from what we imagined it would be. Crystal’s story does just that. By sharing it, she is able to offer hope to others that they are not alone, that others have traveled the path ahead of them, and that they can hope in the face of great adversity.
I think you will enjoy reading this book and sharing it with others in your life that might benefit from it.
