so for may lets read " MY MEMORY KEEPERS DAUGHTER" BY KIM EDWARDS

here is the blurb from the book cover for you:

this stunning novel begins on a winters night in 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr David henry to deliver his own twins. His son, first born, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognises that his daughter has Down Syndrome. For motives he tells himself are good, he makes a split second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. he asks his nurse, caroline, to take the baby away to an institution. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own.
Compulsively readable and deeply moving, " the memory keepers daughter" is a brilliantly crafted story of parallel lives, familial secrets, and the redemptive power of love...
