Interesting book, "This stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins." The split second decision he makes to tell his wife that one twin was born dead rather than raise a child with Down Syndrome will haunt him forever. His nurse Caroline takes the baby and raises her as her own rather than put her in an institution. All lives are now touched by that one decision.
