The Memory Keeper's Daughter

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards — used paperback, Penguin Books. #1 New York Times bestseller.

It begins on a winter night in 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son arrives first and healthy; his daughter has Down syndrome. For reasons he tells himself are good, he asks his nurse to take the baby to an institution. She doesn't. She disappears to another city and raises the child as her own. What follows is a story of two parallel lives, a secret that outlasts everyone, and what love repairs.
