Dear God, never let me be put in the situation this family was! Only Picoult could cover the topic of medical emancipation and stem sickle research like this.

Very in depth and emotional. Great insight with the story being told from different points of view, I actually cried towards the end. It's about 2 sisters.

She hires a lawyer to fight this desicion that is made for her, and meanwhile the father sort of sympathises, the mother is furious, and the older brother is a juvinile deliquent
