"A major decision about me is being made, and no one's bothered to ask the one person who most deserves it to speak her opinion." The only reason Anna was born was to donate her cord blood cells to her older sister. And though Anna is not sick, she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since she was a child. Anna was born for this purpose, her parents tell her, which is why they love her even more. But now that she has reached an age of physical awareness, she can't help but long for control over her own body and respite from the constant flow of her own blood seeping into her sister's veins. And so she makes a decision that for most would be too difficult to bear, at any time and at any age. She decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

我猜到了官司的输赢,却没猜到故事的结局。 我原来以为,安娜忍十三岁孩童所不能忍冒天下之大不韪争取来选择权,最终仍会指向其母所愿:继续做姐姐的守护者,力挽衰竭生命以狂澜。然后,皆大欢喜,一家团圆。她要的,也不过是自由的意志和自主支配自己身体的权利;她要的,不...
评分早些时候,看过一本《不存在的女儿》,英文书,封面很漂亮,读后有许多感喟和叹息,也常常以此来问自己:如果你遇到这样的事情,你会怎样? 在还未想出答案的时候,过芝加哥机场,突然被一本清冷色调上的两个女孩儿吸引住。 是《姐姐的守护者》。 拿起来一翻,真的再也放不下。...

评分Such a sad story. Next time when you are about to say "this is for your own good..." Shut up, and think twice. Is it really? Most of the time we are selfish, and we do not realize it until it is too late.
