Picked up at a library book sale.
A young child Kate is dying of Leukemia unless a donor can be found. Her parents conceive a second child Anna who is a genetic match for Kate. By the age of thirteen, Anna has been the donor for multiple transfusions and bone marrow transplants for Kate. Now Kate's kidneys have failed and she needs a kidney transplant. Anna refuses and contacts a lawyer to prevent the operation.
Very thought provoking story told from the viewpoints of all of the major characters. Several surprising twists including the ending.
