About This Novel

No matter who you are, there is always a part of you that wishes you could be someone else. Anna was not sick, but she sometimes wished she were. She was only thirteen, but she had already undergone countless surgeries, blood transfusions and fluids so that her sister Kate could survive leukemia. In fact, Anna existed from the beginning to provide perfect bone marrow for her sister Kate. It was with advanced biotechnology that Anna was born into this world. She herself had never questioned the role until now. One day, like many teenagers, Anna began to wonder who she really was. However, unlike most young people, she is always treated as an accessory to her sister. As a result, Anna makes an incredible decision that will tear the entire family apart and potentially affect the fate of the sister she actually loves.

This novel is a good novel

But the three children in the story really made me feel distressed. My sister suffered from leukemia and was tortured by the disease every day. My younger brother is like a child abandoned by the whole world. No one in this family cares about my younger brother, and no one takes care of his mood and thoughts. Everyone is surrounding his sister, and he loves her very much, but this is also his first time as a human being. What did he do wrong? As for the younger sister, she has been treated as her sister's container since she was born, a life that can be abandoned by her parents at any time. No one thinks about what she is thinking in her heart. What has she endured? What did he do wrong? No one in the family would ask her if she was willing. As long as her sister needed him, he would have to be on the front line, and in the end, his own life was on the line. The mother in this novel disgusted me to the extreme. The father's silence may have hurt all the children. If you can't be a good parent, please don't give birth to those children, they are innocent. They need love and care. If anyone else thinks my point of view is wrong, you can point it out. Please don't curse.

Halfway through I thought it was just an ordinary good book, but at the end I almost shed tears. After reading the ending several times, I still couldn't accept Anna's departure.

This novel is well written

If the heroine of this story were me, I would be devastated. No one wants to have their right to use their body and life decided by others for various reasons. The mother in the story deserves it, and no life can be trampled on for various reasons. After reading this novel, I felt completely bad. This mother wants to sacrifice her younger daughter for the sake of her eldest daughter. Don't you have a heart? Isn't the youngest daughter your daughter? I hate the mother in this novel, to the point of disgust. His mother kidnapped a 13-year-old girl out of morality and family affection. If I had a mother like this, I wouldn't mind. I can't give a five-star review because I don't want this kind of behavior to happen in my life. I hope every girl can get a complete home and complete family love. This is the first time for everyone. If you gave birth to me for such a ridiculous reason, please be kind to me. It's the first time for everyone. This is my personal opinion. If you think my opinion is wrong, you can say it. Well, please don't curse. Thank you.

a very good novel

I came here after reading a recommendation on a certain website. I didn't expect that the real story would be like this. Anna is like a human organ bank. She only lives to save her sister. My sister is working very hard to fulfill her mother's dream, and she is working hard. Although the elder brother is a supporting character, it is as if he has never been in the family.

nice

Anna, a 13-year-old girl, was born as a donor to her sister Kate, who suffered from leukemia. After countless blood draws, bone extractions, and platelet donations, she took her parents to court and asked for medical custody back. I once thought she was selfish, but actually she wasn't either Can you bear the pain of losing your biological sister? I feel sad for her. She has been asked to endure countless pains since she was born and became a free donor for her sister until she was asked to donate a kidney. When her sister told Anna, "Don't donate;" and even when Anna told Kate that she was going to find a lawyer to defend her medical custody rights, Kate actually looked at her sister seriously and said, "Thank you;" Sad and touching. But the last car accident took away Anna, and she also donated a kidney to Kate. This sad ending made many people sad.
