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 challenged...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. I'm not sure how I feel about this book. One of the main characters has epilepsy and being epileptic myself I had some problems with the accuracy of Campbell's seizure activity. In the novel, Campbell, Anna's lawyer, has a dog that goes everywhere with him and later the reader learns it is a seizure dog. I have friend who has a seizure dog and had to go through many tests and paperwork to be accepted into the program and must produce this documentation to any future school or employer. I also was surprised that Campbell drove so soon after having a seizure in court as there is usually a waiting period before getting back behind the wheel, and is usually 6 months to a year depending on the state -- not 6 hours! Also, Jodi Picoult never clarified what the cause of the accident was. Did Campbell have a seizure behind the wheel, which is not that uncommon, or was it just a freak accident? I don't think Jodi Picoult completed her homework in the medical sense; but unfortunately, I think unless you have some connection to the disorder you may not be as quick to catch on. Overall, I enjoyed My Sister's Keeper, but that lack of information was a huge negative for me.

"As one pastoral minister reminded me, 'Our moral failure is more often in omitting what we should be doing than it is in committing what we ought to avoid.'" (pg. 7) "Contracts work well if the necessary services and fees can be clearly spelled out in advance. But a ministerial relationship is open to services that are not so predictable and so cannot always be spelled out in advance...Covenantal thinking wants to know what is the most we can do in grateful response to what we have received (pg. 15)." "It is awesome to think that, in our freedom, we have the power to keep Absolute Power at bay (pg. 17)." "In ministry, we covenant by entrusting to a pastoral minister our secrets, our sins, our fears, our hopes, our need for salvation (pg. 17)." "Most of the time we reach decisions almost without reflecting (pg. 33)." Consider William May's thought that "one test of our character and virtue is what a person does when no one else is watching (pg. 42)." Compassion "suffers with" the other. It is the capacity to participate in the joys and sorrows of others without becoming overwhelmed by their experience or lost in it (pg. 46)." "We are the ones to whom people turn in order to help them see the sacred dimensions of everyday life (pg. 53)." "It is one thing to have right knowledge about the Christian tradition and its theological concepts, but it is a special skill to use this knowledge to help people find meaning and value in their experiences from the perspective of faith (pg. 54)." "The significance of competence can clearly be seen in the lack of it...People simply give more power to those who are good at what they do (pg. 71)." "Ministers have been given a remarkable amount of latitude for defining what qualifies as confidential. We have mistakenly extended the seal of confession to covr every sort of pastoral activity and communication (pg. 117)." "Sissela Bok maintains that, if we were stripped of our secrets and had no control over what others knew about us, then we could not remain either sane or free (pg. 121)."
