Synopsis

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. BACKCOVER: "Edwards is a born novelist. . . . Rich with psychological detail and the nuances of human connection." - Chicago Tribune "Unfolds from an absolutely gripping premise, drawing you deeply and irrevocably into the entangled lives of two families and the devastating secret that shaped them both. I loved this riveting story." -Sue Monk Kidd "Anyone would be struck by the extraordinary power and sympathy of The Memory Keeper"s Daughter ." - The Washington Post "Kim Edwards has written a novel so mesmerizing that I devoured it. . . . The Memory Keeper"s Daughter has it all." -Sena Jeter Naslund "Kim Edwards has created a tale of regret and redemption, of honest emotion, of characters haunted by their past. This is simply a beautiful book." -Jodi Picoult
