The listing, " MY SISTER'S KEEPER " By Jodi Picoult has ended.
" In my first memory, I am 3 yrs old and I am trying to kill my sister. Sometimes the recollection is so clear I can remember the itch of the pillowcase under my hand, the sharp point of her nose pressing into my palm. She didnt stand a chance against me, of course, but it still didnt work. My father walked by , tucking the house in for the night, and saved her. "That," he told me "never happened".
As we got older , I didnt seem to exist, except in relation to her. I would watch her sleep across the room from me, one long shadow linking our beds, and I would count the ways . Poison, sprinkled on her cereal,. A wicked undertow off the beach. Lightning striking.
In the end though , I did not kill my sister. She did it all on her own.
Or at least that is what I tell myself."
Anna was genetically engineered to be a perfect match for her cancer-ridden older sister. Since birth, the 13-year-old has donated platelets, blood, her umbilical cord, and bone marrow as part of her family's struggle to lengthen Kate's life. Anna is now being considered as a kidney donor in a last-ditch attempt to save her 16-year-old sister. As this compelling story opens, Anna has hired a lawyer to represent her in a medical emancipation suit to allow her to have control over her own body.
. This is a real page-turner and frighteningly thought-provoking. The story shows evidence of thorough research and the unexpected twist at the end will surprise almost everyone. The novel does not answer many questions, but it will surely leave you wondering about choices.
