The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, by Kim Edwards

In 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins, he immediately recognizes that one of them has Down Syndrome and makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever.  He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and to keep her birth a secret.  Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own.

 

The Help, by Kathryn Stockett

Aibileen is an African American maid raising her seventeenth white child.  Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, has lost many jobs for “sassing” her white employers.  Skeeter, a recent college graduate, is torn between her old friends in the Junior League and her desire to be a journalist.  Meet these unforgettable women in a novel about black domestic servants working in Southern white households in the early 1960’s.  The friendship they form could change their town forever.
