Life has always gone smoothly for Jess, but then she got pregnant and it wasn't just her breakfast that started going down the pan. And now her baby has "fallen out" before she's even started ante-natal classes.
Suddenly, she's sucked into the bubble of the Neonatal Unit, where tensions run high and the real world feels very far away. She has a new home, new routines, new friends and even a new crush - and sleep deprivation, stress and separation are threatening to tear her neat little world apart.
When it's time for Jess to leave, what will she be going home to? And who will she be going home with?

Praise for Early Daze:
'It is almost like reading a memoir rather than a fictional story. I really like Jess's voice, which feels so natural and normal. Her reactions and thoughts just seem to ring true.'

'The detailed information covering all the issues that premature babies and their parents are faced with is presented in a light and captivating style. But then the author is no run of the mill chick lit writer since this book is well researched and well written to boot.'
