My Sister's Keeper

My Sister's Keeper

By Jodi Picoult

This book is about 13-year-old Anna who's sister, Kate, has been affected by acute promyelocytic leukemia, a kind of bone marrow and blood cancer. Anna was conceived as a donor, so she constantly donates blood and stem cells to keep her sister alive. But one day, when Kate suffers from kidney failure, their mother, Sara decides that Anna should donate one to Kate. Anna can't stand how her life has been defined solely by Kate's sickness and wants to live a life of her own, but she doesn't want this to result in Kate's death. She decides to sue her parents for medical emancipation, and with the help of a lawyer, they go to court. After a difficult decision, the judge rules in Anna's favor and grants her medical emancipation. However, shortly after that, Anna ends up in a tragic car accident and loses her life, later donating a kidney to Kate and saving Kate's life. My Sister's Keeper is a heartwarming story about family love, sacrifice, and the hard decisions in life. I think this book is really worth trying out!
