My Sisters Keeper Jodi Picoult

It's not that I haven't been reading-I just haven't had time to write. But I just finished a really good book-My Sisters Keeper. It's powerful because of the topic (genetic engineering, stem cell use) and because of the clear voices of the characters involved. I'm not giving anything away to say that it is the story of Anna, who was born to be a genetic match for her older sister who had contracted rare form of leukemia. It is also a really well-written, terrific story, with a surprise ending.
