My Sister's Keeper : Jodi Piccoult

Renowned author Jodi Piccoult, known for her profound understanding of human emotions and thoughts, presents a gripping tale of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a resilient love that overcomes human frailty. Anna, though healthy, has endured numerous surgeries, transfusions, and injections to aid her older sister Kate's battle against childhood leukemia. Conceived through preimplantation genetic diagnosis to be a bone marrow match for Kate, Anna has always accepted her role. However, as she reaches her teens, Anna begins to question her identity, leading her to make a decision that could shatter her family and potentially endanger the sister she loves. 'My Sister's Keeper' explores the meaning of being a good parent, sibling, and person. It delves into the morality of saving a child's life at any cost, the value of self-discovery, and the choice between following one's heart or yielding to others. Once again, Picoult masterfully addresses a real-life contentious issue with sensitivity and insight.
