My Thoughts

The Memory Keeper's Daughter was a heart breaking story that truly portrays the time period of the mid 1900s. It expresses how individuals with mental/physical disablities were viewed and treated. It still amazes me that David thought he could make the decision of putting his and Norah's child into an institution without consulting her first. Caroline takes it upon herself to care for a child that is not even hers and that act of love and kindness is remarkable.
