After a decade of miscarriages, Brooke Jensen is finally pregnant—with quadruplets. When she goes into labor after twenty-three weeks, Brooke and her husband rush to the hospital, and are plunged into the terrifying and mysterious netherworld of the neonatal intensive care unit. Brooke bonds with Dash, a senior nurse whose son, Landon, had been a patient in the NICU years earlier and is now straining his parents’ abilities to care for him. A fiercely honest portrait of American parenthood, the American healthcare system, and Rust Belt communities, Everything We Could Do lays bare the ways that families are formed and remade in times of crisis.

“David McGlynn writes about the deep things—love and connection and survival—and he brings beauty and peril into his narrative. His is a wonderful new voice in the literary landscape.” —Roxana Robinson, author of Leaving
