IRB Media Summary of Melissa Bond's Blood Orange Night

Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I receive an email from ABC World News with Diane Sawyer. They want to come to Salt Lake City to interview me. I'm skeptical, but I decide to consider it. I don't want to prostitute my sickness to the media's love of McNugget news bites.#2 I was terrified about the interview, but I agreed to do what I could to help the show. I was the story of millions of people just like me, who had survived despite being diagnosed with a terminal disease.#3 I was in labor for thirty hours, and when the baby was born, his heart was failing. We brought him to the neonatal intensive care unit, where he needed oxygen.#4 I was thirty-eight years old when I got pregnant with Finch. I'd never babysat, never even changed a diaper, and yet I was pregnant. I was the baby of the family, and I'd never babysat, never even changed a diaper.
