By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister -- and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity. 1639903 book 2004 My Sister's Keeper total:82315|5:33157|4:28477|3:14642|2:4315|1:1723| 82315 333976 107457 13786 1 142 false true Tue Aug 14 21:40:43 -0700 2007 Mon Mar 17 11:24:54 -0700 2008 Picoult's dialogue is excellent, but her characters annoy me and the ending of this book was such a cop-out I almo...more...]]> 2 77 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 17:22:41 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 08 10:14:39 -0700 2007 I'm still reading this book but I'm not sure why.
