A lovely unregistered wishlist book received from Geishabird as part of my Boxing Day surprise package!

Synopsis:

Norah's grieving for her baby girl, Phoebe, who died in childbirth. In another city, another woman raises Norah's little girl as her own. It's 1964 and a blizzard is blowing outside the small-town surgery where Dr David Henry finds himself delivering Norah's twins. Relieved, he sees that his son is born healthy, but recognizes the signs of Down's Syndrome in his daughter's face. In a split-second decision that will haunt their family for ever, he asks the nurse, Caroline, to take his daughter away. As his wife mourns the missing piece in their apparently perfect lives, can David prevent his painful secret from pulling his family apart?

My goodness...Edwards knows how to heap on the tragedy and pull at the heartstrings! This book did keep my attention, but I found it just a bit too melodramatic and predictable in the end. I'm really glad I read it though, as I've heard lots about it and it was overall a well-written and enjoyable read.
