"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. 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. When their parents ask her to donate a kidney, Anna has had enough. She enlist the aid of a lawyer and announces her intention to sue for control of her own body.ike 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."@en
"Thirteen-year-old Anna, conceived specifically to provide blood and bone marrow for her sister Kate who was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia at the age of two, decides to sue her parents for control of her body when her mother wants her to donate a kidney to Kate."
"Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukaemia that has plagued her since she was a child. Anna was born for this purpose, her parents tell her, which is why they love her even more. But now that she has reached an age of physical awareness, she can't help but long for control over her own body and respite form the constant flow of her own blood seeping into her sister's veins. And so she makes a decision."
"Die Entscheidung ist ihr schwergefallen, unendlich schwer. Die allerwenigsten Menschen müssen sie jemals treffen. Doch als Anna Fitzgerald dreizehn Jahre alt ist, kann sie es nicht mehr ertragen. Längst weiss sie nicht mehr, wie viele Operationen sie über sich hat ergehen lassen müssen. Anna, so scheint es ihr selbst, ist nur zu einem Zweck geboren worden - ihrer leukämiekranken Schwester Kate das Leben zu retten. Immer wieder. Nie hat sie diese Rolle angezweifelt, bis heute: Wie jeder Teenager aber beginnt Anna sich nun zu fragen, wer sie eigentlich ist. Ob sie ohne Kate eine eigene Persönlichkeit wäre? Ob Sara und Brian, ihre Eltern, jemals einen eigenständigen Menschen in ihr gesehen haben? Anna weiss es nicht. Und sie beschliesst, ihr Schicksal selbst in die Hand zu nehmen - ein Anwalt soll dafür sorgen, daß sie ihren Körper nie mehr für Kate zur Verfügung stellen muss."
