Kim Edwards's stunning family drama evokes the spirit of Sue Miller and Alice Sebold articulating every mother's silent fear: what would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? In 1964 when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins he immediately recognizes that one of them has Down Syndrome and makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and to keep her birth a secret. Instead she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own. Compulsively readable and deeply moving The Memory Keeper's Daughter is an astonishing tale of redemptive love.
