My Sister's Keeper


I read this book and saw the movie. Which was better? I cried more watching the movie. Both held my total attention and gripped my heart. I guess I liked the movie and the book equally. This story cuts close to home. An older sister has leukemia. The older sister's name was Cate - a deritive of Catherine. Wow, too close to home. We cried and cried all through the movie. But the tears were cathartic and healing. I would give my left arm to be able to prolong her life with my blood or my bone marrow. Thank modern medicine that more little sisters don't have to grow up without their big sister now days.
