SMALL: Life and Death on the Front Lines of Pediatric Surgery

Literate, moving, and illuminating, SMALL is a first of its kind look inside the world of a pediatric surgeon. Longlisted for the 2015 Pen American/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Award. Winner of the Texas Writer's League 2014 Discovery Award in Nonfiction.

Dr. Musemeche has woven together history, personal narrative, and surgical anatomy with the deftness of a master of craft."
Katrina Firlik, MD, author of Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside
"Operating on infants is not as simple as learning how to sew in minature," explains Musemeche in this fascinating, frequently hair-raising account of the state of pediatric surgery. Musemeche has been working in the field for three decades and writes with the kind of drama that feels as visceral as viewing a documentary.
Julia McKinnell, Maclean's
