My Sister's Keeper

***MAJOR FEATURE FILM starring Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Alec Baldwin and Joan Cusack***

'Rarely have I read such an eloquent portrayal of the family in crisis. Every character: real. Every situation: true. Picoult defies you to put this novel down once you've begun it. I do the same.' - Elizabeth George

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. Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate a life and a role that she has never questioned until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to ask herself 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.

Told from multiple points of view, 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?

Booklist 'My Sister's Keeper is a beautiful, heartbreaking, controversial, and honest book'.

Publishers Weekly 'A spellbinding suspense novel'.

USA Today 'Picoult's characters are so compelling that the reader hopes this won't be the last time we meet.'

Washington Post 'Picoult has become a master -- almost a clairvoyant -- at targeting hot issues and writing highly readable page-turners about them....'

The Boston Globe 'Picoult writes with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships.'
