About This Book
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.
