Conceived to provide a bone marrow match for her leukemia-stricken sister, teenage Kate begins to question her moral obligations amid numerous medical procedures and fights for the right to make decisions about her own body. New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult explores the emotionally charged dynamics of a family divided by conflicting needs and a love that endures despite human frailty.

It raises profound questions about the morality of sacrificing one for another's life, the pursuit of self-discovery, and the struggle between following one's heart versus conforming to familial expectations.

Every expectant parent will tell you that they don't want a perfect baby, just a healthy one. Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe would have asked for a healthy baby, too, if they'd been given the choice.
