Helpful Score: 1

I thought this book was well written and believable. Perhaps many who do not like it don't understand how things used to be with child birth in the Hospitals and with Down Syndrome children in the 1960's. Perhaps the mother grieved a bit too long, but only because she didn't get the comfort from her husband that she would have expected. They had been very close before it all and he in trying to protect her withdrew into his own little world to cover up his guilt. I didn't feel like there was no hope as the girl was indeed alive and well and very happy. The sad part was the husband and his end, the rest all came right. I liked the movie as well. It covered the book well, without getting lost in the details.

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to those who like real life, not fantasy thrillers.
