Keeping Lucy - I finished this gem the other night and felt very satisfied with the ending and how it played out. 

Set in a time when disabled children were whisked away to institution, this is the heartbreaking tale of a mother who didn't know her daughter for 2 years as she "thrived" in a special home for children that were "retarded". Turns out, she had Downs Syndrome, and the school - if that's what you can call it - had many issues taking care of the children there. Abuse, neglect - all because these children were not "normal". 

Enter mom who takes her daughter away from these horrors and begins to see immediately that she can learn words, picks up on emotions and is a CHILD just like any other. 

On the other side of the coin we have her husband who signed the parental rights to Lucy away thinking it was best. A battle ensues, many heartstrings pulled, and the end satisfies on many levels. 

A good, quick read with lots of emotion.
