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 questioned… until now. Like 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?

This is a short synopsis of the book My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. When i read the book, I fell in love with the story and I have since read all of Jodi Picoult's books. Obviously, when i found out about the movie that was being made, I was extremely excited, but later disappointed when I saw the movie. I have included a synopsis of the book and a video trailer of the movie. I'll let you decide which you find to seem to be more worthwhile.
