But this isn't only a book about pregnancy. It's also an inspirational story to which all women can relate, especially when confronting any type of adversity.

A crisis when expecting: One minute Crystal was sitting at a candlelight dinner in Paris with her husband. The next she was back home in Houston, sitting in her OB-GYN's office concerned that she was having a second miscarriage. That wasn't the news he delivered. Instead, she found out she was pregnant with twins! Since Crystal and her husband Ed already had a two-year-old daughter, Abigail, she couldn't imagine why mothering twins would be all that different. But, after a family vacation at the beach, she finds out that her twins have a life threatening condition called Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. That means that Baby B is transfusing blood (disproportionately) to Baby A.

A pregancy book about facing adversity: Her OB says that Crystal is too high risk to let out of his sight, so he sends her to the fifth floor of the Houston Medical Center for the duration of her pregnancy. Sitting alone in her hospital bed, Crystal wonders how she is going to pass the next few weeks, away from her husband and precious daughter. She soon finds out as she embarks on an emotional rollercoaster-from late night emergency ultrasounds to hospital baby blessings, sprinkled with comic relief from nurses and hospital staff.

A riveting true story: Twin-to-Twin is a raw and inspirational story filled with tenderness, vulnerability and humor. It chronicles the wildest, most terrifying and challenging year of Crystal's life, which is also the most beautiful and eye-opening. Her hope is that it will bring strength to other women dealing with their own personal trials and tragedies, so they can also triumph.

Being an identical twin mom who was so frightening of what could happen with my babies this book resonated sooo much with me. Crystal captures moments that made me have to face my own feelings and for that I am thankful. She put into words so many things I can not.
