Maybe I can borrow this beautiful single mom for one night to get what I need.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

My benefactor is up for donating a large sum of money to my retreat center and he needs a little persuading.

Perhaps a ready-made family is just what the doctor ordered.

Except I’m falling for this woman and her girls.

My single life is falling apart as I try hard to avoid love and fail.

I’ve been running my own private wilderness retreat and I love it.

Just me, nature, and solace.

Until her. Our paths cross as she comes to the retreat center for a company getaway.

My mind spins a million webs and my body percolates at the possibilities.

She’s the one. I can feel it. But I need this to be more of a business transaction than a love affair.

I’m hoping I can lie to myself about what’s happening with my heart.

At least long enough for her to help me get financing for my company.

All I need is for her to lie for me.

A #1 New York Times bestseller by Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter is a brilliantly crafted novel of parallel lives, familial secrets, and the redemptive power of love

Kim Edwards’s stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964 in Lexington, Kentucky, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down 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, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. 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 the fateful decision made that winter night long ago.

A family drama, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter explores every mother's silent fear: What would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you?

Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.

The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris—Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.

While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she’s been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together.
