''This is a beautiful, heartbreaking, controversial and honest book.''--Booklist (starred review)
Conceived to provide a bone marrow match for her leukemia-stricken sister, teenage Kate begins to question her moral obligations in light of countless medical procedures and decides to fight for the right to make decisions about her own body.
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.
I feel as though the ending was an unnecessary tragedy for readers who finished the emotionally charged novel. Though highly critically acclaimed, I feel as though Picoult has written other novels that are much better that get far too little attention.
