Book Description

March 4, 2008
¿Puede un padre o una madre amar demasiado?

¿O es que acaso tanto amor nunca es suficiente?

Anna Fitzgerald no está enferma, aunque pudiera parecerlo. Con apenas trece años de edad ha soportado innumerables operaciones, inyecciones y transfusiones para que su hermana mayor Kate pueda de alguna manera sobrevivir a la leucemia que la aqueja desde su niñez.

Anna, al ser genéticamente compatible con su hermana, fue la candidata idónea para ser la donante del transplante de médula de Kate, asumiendo así un papel que nunca cuestionaría sino hasta ahora. Como la mayoría de los adolescentes, Anna está comenzando a plantearse quién realmente es. Pero a diferencia de los demás, ella siempre ha sido definida en función de Kate. Es ahora cuando Anna toma una decisión que ante los ojos del mundo no es más que impensable, una decisión que desgarrará a su familia, atrayendo quizá fatales consecuencias para su hermana a la que tanto ama. Se trata de una provocadora novela que presenta una serie de planteamientos éticos importantes. Por la vida de mi hermana no es solamente la historia familiar de la lucha por sobrevivir sino una contemporánea parábola moral.

More About the Author

I grew up on Long Island with my parents and my little brother, the product of a ridiculously happy childhood. My mom says I've been writing as long as she remembers - my first masterpiece was "The Lobster That Was Misunderstood," at age 5. I honed my writing skills beyond that, one hopes, before I headed off to Princeton, where I wanted to work with living, breathing authors in their creative writing program. Mary Morris was my teacher/mentor, and I really do believe I wouldn't be where I am today if not for her guidance and expertise. I had two short stories published in SEVENTEEN magazine when I was in college. However, when I graduated, a desire to not eat ramen noodles exclusively and to be able to pay my rent led me to take a job on Wall Street (not a great idea, since I can't even balance my checkbook). When the stock market crashed in 1987, I moved to Massachusetts and over the course of two years, worked at a textbook publishing company, taught creative writing at a private school, became an ad copywriter, got a master's in education at Harvard, got married, taught at a public school, and had a baby. My first novel was published shortly after my son was born, and I've always said that the reason I kept writing is because it's so much easier than teaching English.

In fourteen years, I've published thirteen novels: Songs of the Humpback Whale, Harvesting the Heart, Picture Perfect, Mercy, The Pact, Keeping Faith, Plain Truth, Salem Falls, Perfect Match, Second Glance, My Sister's Keeper, Vanishing Acts, and the upcoming The Tenth Circle, this March. Two of my books (Plain Truth and The Pact) were made into Lifetime TV movies; Keeping Faith will be another. My Sister's Keeper is in development at New Line Cinema to be a feature film. And there isn't a single day that I don't stop and marvel at the fact that when I go to work, I get to do what I love the most.

My husband Tim and I live in Hanover, NH with our three kids, a dog, a rabbit, and the occasional donkey or cow.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book ruined by bad translations, August 24, 2009
This review is from: Por la vida de mi hermana (My Sister's Keeper): Novela (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This is a great book in English, unfortunately the translation to Spanish is poorly done. I bought this book for my mother who is a native spanish speaker/reader. Sadly she had some difficulty with the translations in spanish that she had to take my book in ENGLISH to figure out what the author was trying to say. This has nothing to do with her ability to read spanish either. Disappointing. But I do highly recommend the English version much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente lectura!!!, October 29, 2010
This review is from: Por la vida de mi hermana (My Sister's Keeper): Novela (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Creo que ninguna palabra que pueda utilizar sería tan abarcadora para explicar lo interesante y cautivador de esta lectura. Qué magnífica habilidad de la autora para escribir; qué planteamiento tan justo, tan real y tan desgarrador al mismo tiempo. Es una historia que por sí misma le fascinará a cualquier persona, independientemente de sus preferencias por algún tipo de lectura en particular. Si cautivadora fue la historia, mucho más impactante es el final. Recomiendo esta historia a cualquier persona. Sumamente interesante y el final le dejará sin palabras. Felicidades a la autora por un trabajo tan bien logrado. Maribel Sánchez, Puerto Rico.
