It is not often that just the review of the book gives me chills. Perhaps
it is worth the read.

Here's a brief summary of the book:


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.
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. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was
conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a role that she has
never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to
question 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.

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? Is
it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like
yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you?
Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial
real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

Remember, Let's Talk Book members can park in the lot across from the
library on Columbus after 6pm.

Hope you can make!
