Description: "A jewel of a book by this celebrated Chicana lesbian writer chronicling 'one small human being's struggle for survival,' her 21/2-pound premature baby boy. While the specifics belong to Moraga and her loved ones, the tale is told in common with every woman who has experienced the wonder and terror of pregnancy, the trauma of a child's near-death."--BOOK JACKET.
