    <![CDATA[  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, <em>The Memory Keeper’s Daughter</em> is an   astonishing tale of redemptive love.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I was not particularly fond of this authors writing style.  She was too wordy and the book was slow moving.  I didn't really enjoy the plot and she didn't develop the characters very well.  I don't understand all the hype about this book.]]></body>
