Title: Emily - PR
Review: In My Sister's Keeper, Anna Fitzgerald was conceived and born so that she could provide blood, tissue, and marrow for her older sister, Kate, who suffers from leukemia. When Kate is 16 and Anna is 13, Kate needs a kidney transplant and Anna balks at giving up one of hers. She hires a lawyer to petition for medical emancipation from her parents, so that she alone can make decisions about her body. It's a decision that threatens to tear the family apart, from her mother who gave up a law practice to be a stay-at-home mom, an older brother who feels left out, and her father who wavers between choosing sides. Jodi Picoult's novel examines the inner workings of a family struggling to find love, and life, within all their relationships. Anna's moral struggle and being able to examine the situation from the standpoint of everyone involved made this novel a very emotional experience for me. It was one of those books that makes you cry, but in a cleansing way.
