The Memory Keeper's Daughter

I agree with the woman who is over 50. My daughter (21) and I both read and enjoyed this book. I did explain to her, though, how things were done in the 60's and how I had a friend whose brother was institutionalized at birth "for the good of the entire family". My daughter had a friend with a Down's sibling, so it touched a chord. Also, I knew that my mom had delivered her babies in the 50's and 60's, with no memory of any of the deliveries. How quickly we forget history and a wonderful way to open discussion.
