My Sister's Keeper (book review)

My Sister's Keeper (2004) by Jodi Picoult. Two sisters, Anna and Kate, have a predestined relationship. Anna was conceived purposely to be a donor (cord blood, bone marrow, etc.) for her older sister Kate, who has leukemia. But what happens when Kate needs a kidney, and Anna doesn't want to be a donor anymore? The drama plays out from several different points of view, and it raises questions of ethics and family relationships that just don't have any easy answers. It is also emotionally moving. Grade: A-
