...well-constructed, delighting in the chance to place the standard account of the unfolding war in soft focus. As the fate of the slaves in the southern colonies assumes primary importance, usual keystones of American Revolutionary War histories, such as the Boston Tea Party and the battles at Lexington and Concord, assume the same air of hazy reportage as they would have to the beleaguered British governors...
...striking resemblance to the Battle of Lexington, nobody can agree on who's responsible: the Minutemen or their foes. The shot heard 'round campus (and the greater New York metropolitan area) was clearly fired by the protestors, some of whom were identified as members of a Columbia socialist group and the Chicano Caucus.

A few years ago Edwards' pastor in Lexington happened to tell her a story about a man in his 40s who discovered that he had a brother with Down syndrome whom he'd never met - the brother had died in an institution before the man even learned he existed. That anecdote became the seed of The Memory Keeper's Daughter, which begins one snowy night in 1964 with the birth of a pair of twins. One is a healthy boy, Paul, the other is a girl with Down syndrome...
