Mourning Sarah
More than 400,000 newborn babies died or suffered the devastating consequences of group B strep before angry, grieving parents stormed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and guidelines were enacted.
Mourning Sarah is a love story to a baby who died of group B strep. It is also an account of the medical, legal, and emotional aspects of a preventable bacterial infection.
