A final year medical student-daughter finds herself torn between carrying her unborn daughter to term and graduating on schedule with her classmates. Would she rather have her baby and lose out on her academic and professional pursuits? Should she opt for academics and sacrifice family for the sake of her career? The young mom opts to have her daughter even as the proposed spouse and father of the child was at work half a world away from home. With the arrival of the baby and the inability to find adequate care for the new-born in cosmopolitan Boston Massachusetts, the onus fell on the grandparents to make the huge sacrifice of sacrificing their own work to babysit the new born. A strange role reversal thus ensues and the joys and huge burdens are documented in a well-crafted book Little Baby Lydia. The story is told not only for entertainment, but also for the advantage of prospective young moms in the developed world who may be inclined to postpone or even indefinitely sacrifice family for the sake of profession or indefinite academics, depopulating the developed world where a little sacrifice and better planning could have helped. And in Little Baby Lydia it is not all sacrifice. The unquantifiable joy and excitement brought about by Little Baby Lydia and watching all her milestones, more than compensates for whatever economic or social losses that might have been incurred.
