Book Review of The Memory Keeper's Daughter

The Memory Keeper's Daughter
Helpful Score: 2


I am someone who has worked in the field of developmental disabilities for over 30 years so I was drawn to this book. I wanted to read about the traumas related to this and how people thought about it decades ago in a narrative form verses an academic historical framework. I found it an excellent book, well written, and one of the few books I have read in my life that I could not put down once I started it. This book will be on my list of favorite books ever read, and it ended up being that because of the moral lesson it taught.
