"By describing her family's encounters with the hypocrisy and cruelty surrounding the care of imperiled newborns, Alecson adds a powerful voice to those calling for a restoration of the rights of parents as decision-makers and for compassionate restraints on the use of neonatal life support technology."--Helen Harrison, author of "The Premature Baby Book" "A searing account of a mother's encounter with a new, frightening, and misguided victim of American medicine: The prolongation of the life of a severely brain-damaged newborn infant is a good that trumps all other considerations. This gripping story should remind us all of C. S. Lewis's chilling insight: "Man's power over Nature is really the power of some men over other men, with Nature as their instrument."--William A. Silverman, M.D., Columbia University "With disarming honesty, wry wit, and extraordinary precision, Deborah Alecson reveals that surreal, shadowy place known only to parents who have delivered a sick baby. "Lost Lullaby" is an act of faith, and one can see its creator growing wiser as her story unfolds--to give the reader not only indispensable information but also solace and strength."--Roberta Silman, author of "Blood Relations, Beginning the World Again," and other novels
