Thirteen-year-old Anna was born for a specific purpose: She was genetically engineered to be a match for her sister, Kate, who has acute promyelocytic leukemia (1.1.18).
Anna is sick of it.
She goes to a pawnshop to sell a beloved locket (for twenty buckaroos—Pawn Stars this ain't); back at home, Anna's mom is trying on a dress that she ordered off the Internet.
They hear crying from Kate's bedroom, and Mom rushes in, thinking she's in pain.
She is… but because of a soap opera. Like, OMG guys, Serena and Preston are breaking up.
Later, Anna gets her brother, Jesse, to drive her to the law offices of Campbell Alexander, an attorney who once sued God on behalf of a nine-year-old boy in a Catholic orphanage.
Anna doesn't want to sue God—"Just my parents […] I want to sue them for the rights to my own body" (1.1.99). Whoa.
