A New York Times Bestseller. Forced by a blizzard to deliver his own twins, Dr. David Henry makes a split second decision - he keeps the healthy boy and tells the nurse to bring the girl, who has Down's Syndrome, to an institution and never reveal the secret. This brilliantly crafted, stunning debut articulates a silent fear close to the heart of every mother: What would happen if you lost your child, and she grew up without you?
