The memory Keepers Daughter (Summary 1)

"The memory Keepers Daughter" by Kim Edwards represents the story of a tragic hit on a family...not physically though, mentally. A soon to be mom and dad take a trip up to the mountains. It probably wasn't the smartest thing since she was almost 8 months pregnant. Anyway, they ended up going and ironically, she does go into labor. Luckily the soon to be dad is a doctor and is prepared to deliver the baby is the cold snow. How often does that happen though? Not everyone will have a doctor with them and it was kind of dumb of her to be out there in the first place. The baby was delivered...it was a beautiful baby boy, perfectly healthy. Then...another baby?...a little girl though. When i say little, i mean little. She is very much underweight and almost tiny enough to be fitting in the palm of your hand. When they arrive at a hospital, the little girl is treated right away. The poor parents...i can just imagine how upsetting this must be. Ohhh i forgot to mention that the little girls life is at risk..but you probably figured that out from everything i have already mentioned. Just when you think this is bad enough (besides death) they find out the little girl has down syndrome. This is what the basis of the book will be revolved around. This tragic tale should never be brought upon anyone in real life. If they stay strong and stick together, they will be able to make it through together.
