Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells the story of a girl who decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body in this riveting story that tackles a controversial subject with grace and explores what it means to be a good person. Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally powerful 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., Jodi Picoult tells the story of a girl who decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body in this New York Times bestseller that tackles a controversial subject with grace and explores what it means to be a good person.

  • My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

    In My Sister’s Keeper, Anna is conceived one specific reason; to save her sister Kate. Anna has give Kate her cord blood, bone marrow, and anything else Kate needs.

The judge decides to legally emancipate Anna and on the way to the hospital Anna and Campbell get ...

  • my sisters keeper

    This book by Jodi Picoult is rather different to what I usually read, which tends to be S-F, fantasy and detective/crime thrillers. I read the blurb on the back and I thought it was an interesting idea, and the ethical issues it brings up sold me on reading it. It's about a family whose eldest daughter suffers from a very aggressive form of leukaemia, and they choose to have another child, genetically compatible with her, in order to help her fight against the cancer. A designer baby if you like. At first Anna their donor daughter's birth provides cord blood to help put Kate into remission. As she grows older, however, blood and bone marrow are needed when Kate relapses. Unlike the cord blood donation, these are invasive, painful procedures and pose some risk to Anna. But Kate's life is ...

  • My Sister's Keeper

    I bought this book after reading the synopsis in Barnes and Noble one day. I was not too impressed with the writing style of the author, but the concept she was writing about held my attention. I finished the book in one sitting, and woke my husband with tears pouring down my face in the middle of the night so I could tell him about it. The fact that parents might have a child in order to save an older child just drew me in to the plot and the ending was nothing like what I expected. I would have to say that the ending saved this book for me -- it was hovering around average right up until the ending when the totally unexpected happened. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

  • Truly amazing

    I definately had a very hard time putting this one down. It was the book choosen for our book club and I am glad it was chosen. It is normally out of the genre I read, but this book was so well written and thought provoking, it is one I am certainly glad to have read. The author's sense of perspective and handling of the main theme and the different characters brought the reader to ponder ALL sides of the challenging decisions. Questions come to mind immediately about the motive of Sara about whether it is for kate's own good or for Sara's own selfishness. Every mother with two children in a similiar scenerio certainly would go through the same thought process and had the same drive to do what she did. the different levels of the character's strength in regards to this matter was also ...

  • My Sister's Keeper

    I originally bought this book because the author lives near me and I was curious......now, I can't wait to read all her works. This story drew me in and all the characters, although at odds with each other, acted out of love. The story of two sisters, brought together by an illness, is heartwrenching. When the younger sister decides to no longer be a living donor for her ill sister, the story takes off and takes you places you probably didn't know exsisted in you. Buy this book!
