The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards

I'm still working on figuring out what I really think about this book. There are some lovely moments in it, then there are times I wanted to scream...."How could anyone do that!" Here is the jist of the book via the back:

"On a winter night in 1964, Dr. David Henry is forced by a blizzard to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy. Yet when his daughter is born, he sees immediately that she has Down's syndrome. Rationalizing it as a need to protect Norah, his wife, he makes a split second decision that will alter all of their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. But Caroline, the nurse, cannot leave the infant. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child herself. So begins this beautifully told story that unfolds over a quarter of a century in which these two families, ignorant of each other, are yet bound by David Henry's fateful decision that long-ago winter night."

Yeah, now you can understand my frustration. Actually It was a good read, so I guess I liked the book...when it wasn't pissing me off. If you want to read it, I'll pass it on to you.
