The memory keeper's daughter

The memory keeper's daughter by Kim Edwards
Summize
i have been fisinh reading chapter 1. The main chacarter in this chapter is Dr. David Henry and Noach, they are husband and wife. Begining in the 1964, in a winter night, and it was a snow day. Noach was pegnancy, and the baby is going to come out, but because it was snowing, so Dr. David cannot drive to the hospital, so he deliver himself. First, the son was come out, it look very health, but when the daughter came out, it made Dr. David shocked, because the baby has Down,s syndrome. He don't want is wife upset about it , so he give the baby to the nurse, and told her to bring the baby to an insitition, and Dr. Davids his wife that her daughter was died.Lateron, the nurse didn't bring the baby to an insitition, but she go to another city, and rises the baby by herself.

Opinion
It is very sad in the first paragraph, a happy family have to change to the bad side- sad. because Dr.David have to give up his daughter and tall the lies to his wife that her daughter was death. Also, i think that Dr.David did very wrong on about to give up his daughter, althought the baby have Down's syndrome, but you still have responsibility to their life. And i think the nurse did good , because she did listen to Dr. David that put the baby to the insitition, but she rise up by herself.

I don't know this book, but it sounds pretty depressing already! I hope you enjoy reading it!
