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?

This book has had mixed reviews on all websites I've read about it.
I thought it had a good storyline, but there were several times I could quite happily have put it down & not picked it up again. Then there were times I thought, I can't put this down. It rambled on in places sometimes unnecessarily to get to the point.
