Think I need to change my "currently reading list", but before I do, a few words about Memory Keeper's Daughter.
I found this to be an intriguing book. It has been well over a year since I read it, and I don't have the book with me know, so this will be brief. It is set in the 1960's. A wife gives birth to twins. Her husband is a doctor, and he delivers them. One is a healthy boy and the other is a girl with Down's syndrome. The father makes a decision that will haunt him and his wife for the rest of his life.
The story made me thankful that society has come a lot way in supporting familes with mentally handicapped children.
