This is a good book. Really, it focuses on a very difficult issue. When parents learn that their daughter has cancer, they decide to conceive another child to be a perfect genetic match to help save her life. Except, the moral issues raised are enormous. Exactly how far should one sibling be expected to go to save their sister? How many procedures? How much pain? And, what if one day they decide they don't want to do it anymore? Whose decision is it to make?
I enjoyed the book, though it was far from perfect and did drag slightly at times. My only real issue was with the ending. What was up with that? It seemed completely random to me, as though it was thrown in to make it all just end since the book was already over 400 pages long. That being said, the story itself was well worth reading, and was fairly accurate to what many families with a dying child are like, as they go to any lengths to have just a little more time.
