The Memory Keeper's Daughter

The Memory Keeper's Daughter is the book that I am currently starting. The author of this book is Kim Edwards. It is about a doctor who delivers his own child. But, he finds out that there is not only one child, but two. The first child that is born turns out to be a healthy baby boy. But, the second child turns out to be a girl with down syndrome. He decides that his wife would be too upset so he gives the baby girl to his nurse for her to bring to another town and give away. She ends up keeping the baby and moving away. I learned that she grew up in New York near the finger lakes. She went to Colgate University. One thing I learned about her that surprised me was that she and her husband traveled to asia for 5 years to teach over there. I think that was pretty interesting. This book has 401 pages so I should finish in 3 weeks or so because I started this a week ago.
