Site of the Day: The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Friday April 11, 2008

A poster on the Parenting Special Needs Forum reminds us that an adaptation of The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards' novel about the consequences of a father's decision to give away a baby daughter with Down syndrome, premieres on Lifetime this Saturday night.

From Lifetime's site on the movie, you can read more about the story and cast members Dermot Mulroney (pictured at right with Krystal Nausbaum, who plays the daughter as a teen), Gretchen Mol, and Emily Watson; view photos and a video excerpt; read an interview with Edwards and a passage from the book; enter to win a signed copy of the book; and join those who are leaving comments about the book, the movie, and living with Down syndrome.
