 BarbF410 | May 22, 2022 |  the tv movie was better because it didn't include all the details and background that really wasn't needed. The movie did a fine job of telling the story. EXCEPT for the ending--quite different in the book. The movie tied it up so quickly and neatly, the ending in the book was much more interesting. (  ) patsyjean | Feb 26, 2022 | Intriguing story. Well written. Engaging. Can't believe I waited this long to read this book! (  ) swade79 | Oct 28, 2021 | There are secrets that shouldn't be kept unsaid. (  ) _Marcia_94_ | Sep 21, 2021 | I was entranced by the author's writing style. I also enjoyed moving back and forth between characters while passing forward through the years. This book was actually a 4.5 for me but I gave it a 5 because I couldn't put it down. It lost that half star because I didn't find the plot diversion of basically adopting a strange pregnant teenager you find in your childhood home believable. (  ) Tosta | Jul 5, 2021 |

On a winter night in 1964, Dr. David Henry is forced by a blizzard to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy. Yet when his daughter is born, he sees immediately that she has Down's Syndrome. Rationalizing it as a need to protect Norah, his wife, he makes a split-second decision that will alter all of their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. But Caroline, the nurse, cannot leave the infant. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child herself. So begins this beautifully told story that unfolds over a quarter of a century in which these two families, ignorant of each other, are yet bound by the fateful decision made that long-ago winter night.
