New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult delivers a riveting story about one family's struggle to stay together when forced to confront the very limits of love and sacrifice.

All her life, 13-year-old Anna Fitzgerald has helped her older sister Kate fight leukemia. Anna has provided platelets, bone marrow, and even stem cells to ensure Kate's survival. But when their parents ask her to donate a kidney, Anna has had enough. She enlists the aid of a lawyer and announces her intention to sue for control of her own body. Although she dearly loves Kate, Anna stands her ground, even as the drama builds toward a shocking climax.

An enthralling novel filled with moments of transcendent beauty as well as penetrating grief, My Sister's Keeper fearlessly tackles sensitive issues while telling a provocative tale that is impossible to forget.
