Journal Entry 1 by wingPanzeranziwing from Göteborg, Västergötland Sweden on Saturday, August 14, 2010
"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?" (adlibris.se)

Amazing novel that really explores what happens to a family when a rash decision is made and a secret comes between two people. There is no easy ways through life and it's never fair. Things you do, paths you chose, form you and nothing ever becomes the same. There is no "doing the right thing" because whatever path you choose you turn away from the things you didn't choose and there is always a possibility that your loved ones will get hurt, no matter how you decide to handle whatever is thrown at you in life. I was really touched by this story.
