My Sister's Keeper Picoult, Jodi

Anna was born to save her sister Kate — conceived as a genetic match to provide blood, bone marrow, and whatever else her leukemia-stricken sibling might need. At thirteen, she's spent her entire life as a walking medical supply. Now Kate needs a kidney, and Anna does the unthinkable: she hires a lawyer and sues her parents for the rights to her own body. What unfolds is a family being torn apart by an impossible choice. Picoult weaves between perspectives — Anna, her parents, her lawyer, her brother — each voice revealing new layers of guilt, love, and desperation. This is medical ethics colliding with maternal instinct, courtroom drama soaked in grief. It's the kind of book that makes you question what you'd do, and whether there's a right answer at all. For readers who want their fiction to hurt a little, and ask hard questions without easy outs.
