My Sister's Keeper,
by Jodi Picoult
Anna Fitzgerald is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has
undergone countless medical procedures so that her older sister, Kate, can
somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of
genetic planning, 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.
