THE MEMORY KEEPERS DAUGHTER – KIM EDWARDS

The multi‑million‑copy bestseller, Kim Edwards’ *The Memory Keeper’s Daughter* is a moving and poignant novel about grief, family and betrayal. Families have secrets they hide even from themselves. It should have been an ordinary birth, the start of an ordinary happy family, but the night Dr. David Henry delivers his wife’s twins becomes a night that will haunt five lives forever. For though David’s son is a healthy boy, his daughter has Down syndrome. In a shocking act of betrayal whose consequences only time will reveal, he tells his wife their daughter died while secretly entrusting her care to a nurse. As grief quietly tears apart David’s family, a little girl must make her own way in the world as best she can.
