Description
In the 1960s the premise of this story did happen. Practicing physicians in this era were treated as omnipotent, creating a godlike complex allowing some of them to take it upon themselves to choose which babies, when born, should live or die. Selectively placing babies with visible flaws in boxes with medical tape over their mouths to silence their cries, than ordering nurses to place those boxes in a closet until...death. But what if they had lived? This could have been their story... Minnesota, 1969 - Carolyn, a young nurse, assisting with the delivery of a baby boy, watches in disbelief and horror as Dr. Jefferson attempts to dispose of the baby like unwanted trash just because he was born with a visible flaw. Unwilling to let the boy die, Carolyn finds herself doing the unthinkable – kidnapping the child and concocting a web of lies to protect herself, her family, and her new son Joe. Minnesota 1998 - Carolyn's tenuous web of lies begins to unravel. Joe, has overcome the challenges from his birth and is now an assistant district attorney. Upon learning the circumstances of his birth, he embarks on a journey for justice for him and the babies who came before him. Every step toward justice reveals unimaginable truths. Joe finds himself asking if the pain of discovering the secrets of the past is worth justice after all. The ethical and moral dilemmas along with multiple fast moving plot lines will engage the reader and generate great discussion points for book clubs across the country! Our hero, Joe, is handsome, smart, successful, and has risen to meet the challenges of his disability! If you have had to overcome challenges or know someone who has you will love this novel!
