My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

Kate, a sixteen year old girl was diagnosed with leukemia at a very young age. She wasn't expected to live past the age of five, but yet she did, thanks to her sister Anna. Anna was a genetically created baby, made specifically to be a donor to her sister Kate, in hopes of fighting the leukemia that keeps coming back. Since Anna was born, she has given numerous amounts of bone marrow to Kate, along with some other fancy stuff. Now Kate's kidneys are failing, and she needs to get a kidney transplant in order to have any hopes of surviving. As usual, her parents and the doctors look to Anna to undergo this massive surgery to help save her sister once again. This time Anna has had enough of being used, even if it is for a very good purpose. She can't seem to make her voice be heard by her parents and the doctors, so she decides the only way to make that possible is to sue her parents. She's not trying to kill her sister, but she strives for her own freedom in making life decisions like this. She hires a lawyer to represent her, and the opposing attorney ends up being her very own mother. This makes the case even harder for Anna to get through. The case is a long and painful one, but finally it ends. The ending of this story is not what I expected. I really enjoyed this book, and I recommend it to many people, teens and adults.
