I loved this book! It starts on a snowy night when a doctor has to deliver what he thinks is his only baby. It turns out that his wife is having twins. The first born, a boy, is born perfectly healthy. The second baby, a girl, is born with Down's. He tells his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and then tells his wife the baby died. This is a very sad story about family secrets and what damage those secrets can cause.
