A Great Read.......

Need a good book to read? Here it is....
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

I am not even a quarter of the way through this book and I would already recommend it to anyone. It is such a great story about a girl with cancer, and her sister's struggle to keep her rights to her own life.
Her parents had her concived in a lab so that they coud pick the ideal fetus to be an exact match to their older daughter. They thought it would be a great idea to have cord blood from the youger daughter to save their older daughter through her stuggle with leukemia.
It is definately a book that makes you think about your ethics and beliefs and how you would react in a case like this. Some parts hit a little close to home for me, considering my own battle with leukemia.
The best part about the book.....they have made a movie about it. But read the book before you see it! I havent seen the movie yet but it always comes about that there is more in the books.
Chech out the trailer here....
