The Memory Keeper's Daughter

A young doctor gives up his daughter after she is not born the picture of health, without the knowledge of the mother, to his nursing assistant. She flees with the infant. The infant's mother struggles with this unidentifiable loss, and goes into a depression that makes the doctor regret his actions. I found this book to be sorely over-rated with its implausible story and flat characters. It doesn't leave much to think about afterwards.
