"New York Times" bestselling author Jodi Picoult is widely
acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real
people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family
torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs
over human weakness.
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. 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.
