Keep Your Chin Up (3rd Ed): Everything You Never Knew You'd Need To Know About Pierre-Robin Sequence

Jess is a writer, public health worker, and mother to a little boy who was born with Pierre-Robin Sequence. Upon his diagnosis, Jess and her husband, like many other parents, turned to the internet to search for answers. The information they found was largely outdated and based on worst-case scenarios, which only frightened and confused them even more. With a background in health science and a desire to help, Jess resolved to put together a book to guide other PRS families through the journey.

With information and research drawn from both personal experience and 150+ medical sources, photos, and interviews with more than twenty PRS families, Keep Your Chin Up is a guide to PRS written for parents, by a parent. This third edition revisits several families featured in the first edition, including updates three and a half years later, giving families a longer-term view on a PRS diagnosis.
