His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down 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, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. 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 the fateful decision made that winter night long ago. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA family drama, \u003ci\u003eThe Memory Keeper's Daughter \u003c\/i\u003eexplores every mother's silent fear: What would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you?
