I really do hope that we find out who wrote this book. I'll have to read it, then send a nasty letter to the author if he doesn't answer that question.
This sounds like several that I read. Do you have anymore information on the book. Names of the characters, location of the story ect?

Ann aka Iftcan wrote: "Actually Anna--if the girl never met her Dad--then HOW did he know that she was the only possible donor? His oldest son who was a full blood sibling would be statistically more likely to be a mat..."I can't answer that. Maybe she meet her father and his family and then was asked to do a test. I don't remember.
I just remember that she was the suitable donor.

His older brother was drug addict or alcoholic and probably that the reason why he wasn't suitable donor or was it mother? Whoever it was that person blamed themselves and kept distance from the sick child.
When the girl learned why she was contacted she was very angry but made decision that she will agree for the sake of her younger half-brother.
Could be written from 1st POV.
That's all I can remember for now.

"Nope.
It's does sound very similar to the one I'm looking for but it isn't the right one.
Thank you

I'm not sure :( And the book isn't available on amazon so I can't even read an example and see if I recognize it :(

Second to None (other topics)Hummingbird Heart (other topics)
A teenage girl lives with her mother. Her mother was his father's lover. I think heroine never meet her father. Her father was married, rich and had two sons.
One day her father wants to meet her and invites her to his home. She meets his wife, her older stepbrother and younger stepbrother who is ill.
She learns that she is the only suitable donor(bone marrow or something like that) for her stepbrother and that's the only reason why her father made contact with her.
