My Sister's Keeper

New York bestselling author, Jodi Picoult wass widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she told the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.


Anna was 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, could 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, Annawasbeginning to question who she truly was. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister  and so Anna made 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.
