Meshal, a successful career woman, had always assumed that she would become a mother one day. But when she and her husband, Phillip, decided to start a family, they quickly discovered that the path to parenthood would not be as straightforward as they had imagined.
After years of trying to conceive, Meshal was finally pregnant. But her joy was short-lived. At 20 weeks, she went into premature labor and gave birth to a tiny baby girl who weighed just 1 pound, 12 ounces. The baby, whom they named Lily, was given a grim prognosis. But against all odds, she survived.
Lily's birth was just the beginning of Meshal's unexpected journey. She had to learn how to care for a medically fragile child while also navigating the emotional rollercoaster of being a new parent. She had to learn how to let go of her expectations and embrace the unknown.
In New Life, No Instructions, Meshal recounts her experiences with raw honesty and vulnerability. She writes about the challenges of raising a child with special needs, the pain of losing a child, and the unexpected joy of finding new love.
Meshal's story is a reminder that life is full of surprises, and that even the most unexpected events can lead to growth, resilience, and love.
A Must-Read for Anyone Who Has Ever Experienced the Life-Changing Power of Children
New Life, No Instructions is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced the life-changing power of children. It is a book that will make you laugh, cry, and ultimately appreciate the fragility and beauty of life.
Meshal's writing is both personal and universal. She captures the essence of what it means to be a parent, and she does so with a rare combination of honesty, humor, and compassion.
If you are looking for a book that will stay with you long after you finish it, then I highly recommend New Life, No Instructions.
