The fictional story of Anna Fitzgerald, who is not sick, but might as well be. By the age of 13 she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, shots and procedures so that her older sister, Kate, can fight leukemia.

In fact, Anna was conceived as a perfect genetic match for her sister's wellbeing.

One family's struggle for survival and a great way of portraying a moral parable for all time.

Good, interesting reading! Have recently lost a good friend to leukemia and it gave me great insight into exactly what the patient (and their donors!) go through.
