The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Just wanted to recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read. Admittedly, I am not an avid reader. I expect a lot from a book--to grab me and keep my attention. While it dragged a little towards the end (granted I was reading while the boys were running wild so I was a bit distracted), I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The story centers around a father's decision and secret and the after-affects on his family. While his decision angered me and led to my need-to-turn-the-page, I also understood his reasons and where he was coming from. Kind of how I am with a lot of things. I tend to see both sides in a lot of issues. In some ways I think that makes me a sort of "fence-sitter." In the sense that I don't very often see things in black and white, but in many different shades and nuances of gray.

Anyway, pick up the book when you get a chance. I hope you enjoy!
