I read My Sister's keeper last semester for Reading 103. I do not like to read, as I've told you in my book chat. This book actually turned out to be a wonderful book. My sister's keeper was very touching, and interesting to learn about Leukemia and how Kate was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was two years old. The book affected me because not after a few months later in December, my 3 1/2 year old niece Hailey was diagnosed with Leukemia as well. The emotions I had while reading this were sad and hopeful. It was sad to read about a two year old having Leukemia, and then to find out my three year old niece had Leukemia. Some big questions in My Sister's Keeper were is Kate going to live? Leukemia is very common in children. About 90 percent of children survive, but there's still a ten percent chance of a child not living. Sara and Brian were scared and worried Kate wouldn't live much longer. Dr. Chance, oncologist said Kate would need a bone marrow transplant. Another big question was if they would be able to find a bone marrow match for Kate. Kate had a younger brother, Jesse. Jesse wasn't a match for Kate, so Sara and Brian had no other choice but to try and have another child so it would be a perfect match for Kate. A few years later, they had a daughter, Anna. She was the right genetic match for Kate. Anna had to go through all the procedures as Kate did. I learned a lot from the book, especially with having a niece who has Leukemia. The book shows how to always be there for one another. Supporting every sick child fighting cancer is amazing. Love the children who are fighting cancer because they go through so much just in one day. To put their shoes on one day to feel the pain they have to go through just to survive. I am very glad i read this book because at first it didn't relate to me and now it does. This book was very easy to read. I loved the book because it shows a lot of caring, and love for a child. Especially, having a strong bond that sisters have, like Anna and Kate in the book of My Sister's Keeper.
