Ripped Bodice

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 David Henry's fateful
decision that long-ago winter night.
