Picoult, Jodi. My Sister’s Keeper. NY: Washington Square Press, 2004. 423 pages. (Fiction)When Kate’s parent’s find out about their daughter’s disease they decide to have a child that is made genetically to fit Kate’s blood type and be a perfect match as an organ donor. The only problem is when Kate gets to the point where she needs a kidney transplant her genetically matched sister, Anna, is realizing that her parents only had her to keep Kate alive. Anna gets in touch with a lawyer, Campbell Alexander, and files a law suit against her parents for signing over her body to her sister without permission from Anna. The decision that Anna makes will tear her family apart even more than it already is and possibly kill her own sister.
My Sister’s Keeper is the saddest book I have ever read. Just reading about how a family can be torn apart by one thing and then ripped to shreds by another, proves that there is usually always someone out there who has it way worse than you do.
