My Sister's Keeper
Jodi Picoult
Fiction
423 pages
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.
