The Bookworm says... Yes. The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards was a pretty good book! On a cold stormy night in 1964, Dr. David Henry delivers his own twins. The first baby, a boy, is perfectly healthy. The second baby, a girl, is born with Downs Syndrome. Without letting his wife Norah know, David sends Phoebe off with the nurse, Caroline, to take her to an institution. Caroline is shocked by the barbarity of the institution, and decides to raise Phoebe as her own. A story of parallel lives, secrets, and the powers of love, The Memory Keepers Daughter is excellent.
"A moment was not a single moment at all, but rather an infinite number of different amounts depending on who was seeing things and how."
