Adam Wood is a retired military leader and first time author who lives in South Windsor, Connecticut. His passion for writing developed when his son was born premature at just 25 weeks weighing 1 lb 4 oz. As he read books by many authors, he realized there were not many books that addressed the specific challenges their family faced. So he began writing, interviewing and chronicling the journey families go through in the NICU. He prefers to use heartwarming messages or humor to help convey to his readers messages of hope and common bonds. He currently is working on several other projects that will bring to life the experiences of families in the NICU and special needs children. Along with his work as an author; he sits on a variety of charitable boards and the family advisor council at the hospital his son was born in.
