> Children's Books > Fiction Books

If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone? At thirteen, most people don't know their life's purpose. But Anna has had a purpose since the day she was conceived: to keep her sister alive. Anna was created to be a perfectly matched donor for her sister, Kate, to help fight Kate's leukemia. For Anna, it's meant thirteen years of hospital visits and painful medical procedures. But you'd do anything to save your sister's life - right? That's what her family thinks. So when Kate needs a new kidney and Anna makes an unthinkable decision, it sends everyone reeling. A heartbreaking story of courage and self-sacrifice, which redefines right and wrong. How do you find the answer to an impossible question? And when it comes to life, death and love, is enough ever enough?

About the Author: Jodi Picoult

Jodi studied creative writing with Mary Morris at Princeton, and had two short stories published in Seventeen magazine while still a student. Realism - and a profound desire to be able to pay the rent - led Picoult to a series of different jobs following her graduation: as a technical writer for a Wall Street brokerage firm, as a copywriter at an ad agency, as an editor at a textbook publisher, and as an 8th grade English teacher - before entering Harvard to pursue a master's in education. She married Tim Van Leer, whom she had known at Princeton, and it was while she was pregnant with her first child that she wrote her first novel, Songs of the Humpback Whale.
In 2003 she was awarded the New England Bookseller Award for Fiction. She has also been the recipient an Alex Award from the Young Adult Library Services Association, sponsored by the Margaret Alexander Edwards Trust and Booklist, one of ten books written for adults that have special appeal for young adults; the Book Browse Diamond Award for novel of the year; a lifetime achievement award for mainstream fiction from the Romance Writers of America; Cosmopolitan magazine's Fearless Fiction' Award 2007; Waterstone's Author of the Year in the UK, and a Vermont Green Mountain Book Award. Most recently, she wrote five issues of the Wonder Woman comic book series for DC Comics. Her books are translated into thirty four languages in thirty five countries.
She and Tim and their three children live in Hanover, New Hampshire with a variety of animals including two Springer spaniels, two donkeys, two geese, three ducks, six chickens, and the occasional Holstein.
