The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards is a thoughtful and provocative novel that explores the idea of secrecy as a moral backdrop for people’s motives, choices, behavior, and interactions. David and Norah Henry are expecting their first child, but they do not know that Norah is actually expecting twins. One baby is born healthy and normal; the other has Down syndrome. The doctor makes a rash decision to hide the baby’s condition from his wife and he tells her the baby has died. This devastating secret haunts not only the doctor, but each member of his family for years to come.
