What's The Story

Young Anna Fitzgerald has coped all her life with her older sister's rare cancer, and has served as a donor for her for as long as she can remember. She has missed many opportunities in order to be there for her sister, but has never resented it. When she finds out that the entire reason she was conceived was to keep her sister alive, however, the way she looks at the world is changed forever. She goes to court in the hopes of freeing herself once and for all and earning the chance to live her own life.

Three Good Reasons

• 1The starring role of Anna is played by the unforgettable Abigail Breslin from Little Miss Sunshine, and Cameron Diaz goes against type to play her mother.
• 2It's a story that has already touched hearts all over the world: the original novel, by bestselling author Jodi Picoult, won the Alex Award from the American Library Association.
• 3Jeremy Leven, who adapted the book, has some experience making the transition from page to screen. He's the wordsmith behind the film version of The Notebook.

Bet You Didn't Know

Three years after the release of the novel, an advance was made in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia, or APL. Remission and survival rates have been significantly increased by administering, of all things, an arsenic compound. More about My Sister's Keeper on Yahoo! Movies
