Book Name: The Memory Keeper's Daughter
Author: Kim Edwards

Premise:

The story is about this man [David Henry] who has to deliver his own babies. The first one, a son, is fine. The second, a girl, has Down's Syndrome. He tells the Nurse [Caroline Gill] to take the girl to a home for the mentally retarded [the book is starts in the 60s so thats what it is called in the book]. Caroline keeps the kids, brings her up and the book is just about the two different families and how this decision affects them.

AWESOME BOOK. It is such a page turner.... I totally loved it. Best book I have red in 2007. Granted I have read maybe only 5 books but it is so far THE BEST! Get it, read it and see if you dont agree with me!
