My Sister's Keeper Part 9 / Chapter 5 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Anna

  • Campbell's dog, Judge, is going nuts as Anna gives her testimony.
  • She has a brief flashback to the night when Sara asked Anna for a kidney. Kate, the one who, you know, actually needs the kidney, says, "I'm not doing it again, all right? I'm sick of it" (9.5.32).
  • Back in the present, Anna confesses that someone convinced her to file the petition and not donate the kidney…
  • … It was Kate.
  • We'll let that sink in for a moment.
  • Campbell collapses (Picoult's plot twists do that to people).
