Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What year were David and Norah's twins born?

Answer: 1964

David and Norah were expecting a child in three weeks when Norah unexpectedly went into labor. Her husband, an orthopedist, delivered both babies in his clinic.
2. What name did Norah have picked, if the baby was a girl?

Answer: Phoebe

Norah didn't know she was going to have twins until the second baby was born. The baby boy, Paul, came first and moments later Phoebe was born.
3. What was medically wrong with the female twin?

Answer: Down Syndrome

When David saw that his daughter had Down Syndrome, he gave the baby to his nurse Caroline and told her to take the baby to a home in Lexington that takes care of children with special needs. Instead of taking the baby girl to the special needs home, Caroline took the baby home with her to raise.
4. What is the "Memory Keeper" in this book?

Answer: Brand name for a camera

Eleven months after the babies were born, Norah purchased a camera for David's birthday. The brand name of the camera was "Memory Keeper". Caroline has also been sending David pictures of his daughter as she grows in the home that they are living in, in Pittsburg.
5. Do David and Norah have any more children?

Answer: No

It's been almost a year since the babies were born and Norah is ready to have more children, but David is feeling guilty about what he has done and doesn't want to have any more children. Norah feels that they are growing apart, even though she has kept her longing for her dead daughter to herself.
6. Who was the first person to find out about Norah's affair?

Answer: Paul

While on vacation in Aruba, Norah had an affair with a photographer named Howard who was living down the beach from them. When David and Paul's fishing trip was canceled, Paul went for a run and found his mother's clothes on the beach outside the Howard's beach house.

After Paul came back home, David went out to see what had upset Paul and he found Norah's clothes. Norah's affair with Howard lasted the rest of vacation. Norah ended up having four affairs in the time she was married to David.
7. What was David Henry's real last name?

Answer: McCallister

As David was traveling back to his childhood home, he reminisced about his family and the day he was accepted into college. When he opened his college acceptance letter, David Henry McCallister's name was shortened to David Henry. David figured it was a clerical error and instead of correcting it, attended college as David Henry.

He figured this was the way he could leave everything about his childhood behind and start fresh.
8. When David returned to his childhood home, what did he find there?

Answer: A young girl was living in the house

After meeting with Caroline and seeing pictures of his daughter Phoebe, David went back to the house where he grew up. While there, he found a pregnant teenage girl named Rosemary living in the house. After they talked for a while, David took Rosemary home and when he and Norah divorced they moved into a duplex. Rosemary gave birth to a son named Jack and after college she moved away.
9. How did David die?

Answer: Heart attack

David had a heart attack while out running. He set up a bank account for Phoebe and Rosemary's son, Jack, and then went to Norah's house to fix the leaky faucet he never got around to fixing.
10. Did Norah and Paul ever find out about Phoebe?

Answer: Yes

Paul's former nurse, Caroline, came to tell Norah about Phoebe and what had happened over two decades ago. Phoebe married a man with Down Syndrome named Robert, Paul toured while playing guitar, and Norah married a French man named Franco and moved to France.
