The end of The Memory Keeper's Daughter is quite moving without giving it away because it deals with truly life changing events including death, falling out of love, and discovering family secrets. A character that truly stands out towards the end of the novel is Norah the mother who must truly deal with so much. She deals with a series of unfortunate events and is strong enough to over come them. Then, when she begins to break down at the end of the novel her son Paul is there for her, bonded through the loss in their hearts they share. A memorable moment at this part of the book is when Norah out of dire frustration begins to throw boxes of David's old belongings out of the window, and Paul is there to support her through this hard time. After finishing this book i realized it has much in common with My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Both books show a family torn apart by sickness and secrets. The parents do the best they can but at some points, some family members can be on their own to fend for themselves. But in the end, both theses books show the true meaning of a strong family.
