How disturbing. I finished the book this afternoon. I read over 200 pages this afternoon, only to finish in tears. The whole family goes through this media filled court case, and Anna wins the right to make her own medical decisions. then on the way home, she is in a car that is hit by a truck and she is killed. Her Attorney has her POA and rather than forcing her parents to make the choice he does it for them, and has ther organs donated. the kidneys go to her sister, who ends up undergoing a major battle to live but does in the end. Then the last chapter of the books talks about the results of her death. the guilt, the drinking, and the success of the other members of her family. But how totally heart breaking to read this book, and to have that outcome.
Oh and I did discover why the Attorney had a service dog. He has a seizure disorder, and the dog can identify when he is about to have on and get him to safty.
