March 1964, a young doctor and his pregnant wife are on their way to the hospital during a horrible snowstorm. They end up at his clinic and he is forced to deliver the baby with the assistance of his loyal nurse.
A healthy, baby boy named Paul is delivered. While his wife is sedated. a second baby, a girl, Phoebe is born but with Down's syndrome.
In those few moments, the doctor makes a decision that will impact peoples' lives forever.
Great story with many discussion points. Would be ideal for book club.
