From the New York Times bestselling author of
Small Great Things and The Storyteller, a
“beautifully crafted novel” (People) that explores 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? Should
you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once
again, in My Sister’s Keeper, Jodi Picoult “writes
with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp
of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships”
(The Boston Globe).
