The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
FIC EDW available at Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head, Lobeco
"At a time not too distant from our own, when mental retardation was poorly understood, Dr. Henry delivers his own twins; one a perfect boy and the other a Down Syndrome girl. Giving the girl to the nurse, he instructs her to take the baby to an institution in Louisville, KY. He tells his wife that their daughter was born dead. His decision ultimately destroys one family and creates another."
