It should have been an ordinary birth, the start of an ordinary happy family. But the night Dr David Henry delivers his wifes twins is a night that will haunt five lives for ever.
For though Davids son is a healthy boy, his daughter has Downs syndrome. And, in a shocking act of betrayal whose consequences only time will reveal, he tells his wife their daughter died while secretly entrusting her care to a nurse.
As grief quietly tears apart Davids family, so a little girl must make her own way in the world as best she can.
