All her life she has medically been on the beckon call for donations when her sister's health failed. Now, when her sister needs a kidney, Anna wants out, even though it means her sister may die.

Jodi Picoult does an excellent job of talking and relating experiences through the eyes of each character in her book, making you feel like you know them well. You understand the buden each of them faces as her story unfolds. Because of this, she takes you on the incredible roller-coaster journey involving current ethics questions, like stem cell research and genetics, facing us today. This is the first Picoult book I have read, but it won't be my last.
