The Memory Keeper's Daughter

I was visiting the local bookstore a few weeks ago and this book was on the number one selling shelf. I decided to check it out and see what it was all about. I have just started reading it and I am halfway through. So far its very heartfelt. It takes place in the 1960's and over the next ten or so years. A doctor and his wife are expecting twins. They end up being snow bound and the doctor, (who is a foot doctor I believe) has to deliver his twins on his own with his nurse. As his wife is knocked out, he delivers a very healthy boy. His newborn daughter, however, has down syndrome. So he has his nurse take the baby girl to an institution. She can't bring herself to do so. Instead, she runs away and takes the baby girl with her and raises her as her own. What happens after that is anybody's guess. I am very excited to read this book. There is also a Lifetime movie and I can't wait to see it!

Follow Up on "A Million Little Pieces"

I have to be honest and admit that I have not finished reading this book. It's too complicated. Not as in reading but actually following the story. I just can't stand how he writes it and how he explains himself. I would really like to finish it but I just can't bring myself to read it for more than 20 minutes. I don't know if I am the only one who had a hard time focusing but I sure hope not!
