Why Can't I Stop Eating?

Have you ever asked yourself why you can't eat just one potato chip, especially one buffalo wing flavored potato chip dipped in creamy ranch dip? What do they put in these foods--crack?

Well, yes, sort of, according to David Kessler in his new book "The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite." Kessler, a former pediatrician who was FDA Commissioner under Presidents Bush (the father) and Clinton, presents some pretty compelling research showing that food manufacturers and chain restaurants know exactly what's going to make you want to eat--and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat.

There are a few things causing this epidemic of overeating: Chemically-enhanced food that tastes good because it's high in fat, sugar, and salt; food so processed it's almost pre-chewed; food that's extremely cheap, because real ingredients, like eggs, sugar, butter, and natural flavorings have been replaced by low-cost synthetic ingredients; huge portions that are training us to eat (and expect) more; and 24-hour availability, so you can get that Panda Express Orange Chicken or those Tyson Chicken Cordon Bleu Any'tisers whenever the craving strikes.

What's the cure?

1. Stop snacking. Really. It's not that hard, and you'll see the benefits fast. First, you'll actually be hungry once meal time rolls around, which makes the food so much more enjoyable. Second, you will lose weight, and you'll do it without have to go on a diet. Snacking is a modern phenomenon, so just think of this as returning to your roots. (If you must snack, try this healthy yogurt option with granola, tropical fruit, and crystallized ginger.)

2. Go cold turkey on processed foods. You'll lose your taste for them in a matter of days. Since you're not snacking any more, you don't need chips and crackers. Bake your own cookies--it's fun, and you'll know what goes into them. Keep ice cream as an occasional treat. Give up cold cereal, even the kind labeled healthy. It's not actually that healthy. Oats are healthy. Eggs are healthy. Even bacon is healthy, in moderation.

3. Skip the chain restaurants. Read Kessler's book if you need to know why. Just realize that what you're ordering is engineered to make you eat like your belly is a bottomless pit. The wiser choice: Go out less frequently to a real restaurant where there's a chef in the kitchen who cooks real food with real ingredients, rather than assembling pre-fab dishes from frozen components.

New Wayne Dyer Book- Excuses Begone!

Excuses Begone! is the HOT new book just released May 26, 2009 written by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Dr. Dyer is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development. He is the author of more than 30 books, has created numerous audio programs and videos, and has appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. Wayne holds a doctorate in educational counseling from Wayne State University and was an associate professor at St. John’s University in New York.Within the pages of this transformational book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change the self-defeating thinking patterns that have prevented you from living at the highest levels of success, happiness, and health. Even though you may know what to think, actually changing those thinking habits that have been with you since childhood might be somewhat challenging.

If I changed, it would create family dramas . . . I’m too old or too young . . . I’m far too busy and tired . . . I can’t afford the things I truly want . . . It would be very difficult for me to do things differently . . . and I’ve always been this way . . . may all seem to be true, but they’re in fact just excuses. So the business of modifying habituated thinking patterns really comes down to tossing out the same tired old excuses and examining your beliefs in a new and truthful light.

In this groundbreaking work, Wayne presents a compendium of conscious and subconscious crutches employed by virtually everyone, along with ways to cast them aside once and for all. You’ll learn to apply specific questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the steps of a new paradigm. The old, habituated ways of thinking will melt away as you experience the absurdity of hanging on to them.

You’ll ultimately realize that there are no excuses worth defending, ever, even if they’ve always been part of your life—and the joy of releasing them will resonate throughout your very being. When you eliminate the need to explain your shortcomings or failures, you’ll awaken to the life of your dreams.

"Excuses Begone!: How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits"

Dr Wayne Dyer Quotes:

A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.

Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.

Everything is perfect in the universe - even your desire to improve it.

Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.

I think and that is all that I am.

If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.

It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there's nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.

SkinnyTinis- All of the Fun for Half the Calories

Hot and New! "Skinny Bitch"

SkinnyTinis-All the Fun for Half the Calories

Recipe Book!

This is what the author, Teresa Howes, has to say about it:

How do we maintain or lose weight without giving up small pleasures in life like a night out on the town with the girls or a stiff martini after a long day at the office? That was the question that prompted me to begin looking at alcohol differently. Instead of trying to avoid it, I'd prefer to find ways to modify recipes and habits so I can still enjoy my favorites.

Hence the advent of SkiinnyTinis! I was so proud of my concoctions and revelations that I felt compelled to share them with the rest of the social drinkers who share my struggle. The recipes in this book have been tested, and users have rated them just as tasty as their high-calorie counterparts (if not tastier). The only difference? They have less than half the calories.

Allison Fishman of Cook Yourself Thin

Interview with Allison Fishman: I had the pleasure of speaking with Allison Fishman, one of the co-stars of Lifetime’s new show Cook Yourself Thin, which made its American debut just this past week. Allison is a passionate chef who owns The Wooden Spoon, a Brooklyn-based culinary school, who sharpened her own culinary skills while working for Martha Stewart, the Food Network and TLC’s Home Made Simple. She shared with us how she got her start cooking healthy (it’s a story, all working women can relate to) and some of her favorite slimming secrets in the kitchen.

Read the highlights from my interview with Allison Fishman.

Where did the idea come from for the show Cook Yourself Thin?

Cook Yourself Thin got its start in England where the show and the accompanying cookbook have proved to be a huge hit with British women. The producers of the show thought that the premise of Cook Yourself Thin would be a great hit with the American audience to learn how to cook healthy.

Have you always cooked healthy or is this a new way of cooking for you?

My story is similar to many working women out there. I had an executive level job in the dot.com industry and after a few years in it, noticed the weight creeping on after too many business dinners. I also noticed that even though I was a very successful business woman, I couldn’t poach an egg to save my life. I was a complete nincompoop in the kitchen. So I decided that I need to go to culinary school and that is just what I did.

I wanted to be able to indulge in delicious foods without perceiving food as the enemy. I had my kitchen stocked with truffle oil, fresh Parmesan cheese, I was able to master cooking and eating vegetables and whole grains. And to my surprise, I lost weight eating this way.

What are three of the most important steps anyone can do in their own kitchen to stay trim?

Number One is to avoid drinking your calories. Right now, I have three huge bottles of unsweetened sun tea sitting on the windowsill of my kitchen. I also always keep seltzer water on hand and drink plenty of brewed tea during the winter. Second, stock your refrigerator with fruits and vegetables and clean out your pantry of snack foods. Right now is the season where fresh produce is in abundance. Stock up on blueberries, pineapples, peaches and whatever is fresh and in season. Third, don’t be afraid of following recipes. The dishes that we prepare on Cook Yourself Thin are healthy and simple.

Candice Kumai of Cook Yourself Thin

An Interview with Candice Kumai:

Looking to lose those last ten pounds, but not give up your favorite foods? Lifetime may have your solution with its new show Cook Yourself Thin. Taking real women who are looking to drop baby weight, get ready for an impending reunion, or perhaps have just let themselves go, each episode features a guest as she learns how to transform favorite (but fattening) recipes into healthy (and still tasty) fare. The viewers get to see how after six weeks the participant has progressed, and if she has kept up the healthier lifestyle. TVGuide.com spoke with one of the hosts, and former Top Chef Season 1 contestant, Candice Kumai about what sets her show apart, how you can enjoy foods you love, and why she's defending Kim Kardashian.

TVGuide: How is Cook Yourself Thin different from other weight-loss shows?

Candice Kumai: It's really fun, cute and creative because we take really great food and make it even better because we're making it healthy. You don't think of eating lettuce or rice cakes or depriving yourself, you think of an actual burger or fries or milkshake that you can have and actually love. It's mainly the lifestyle change and it's genuinely built for women.

TVGuide: There are three hosts, so do you each have a different expertise you bring to the table?

Kumai: The three of us are so different yet we make the perfect puzzle pieces for each other. Harry [Eastwood] is our original girl from the series in London. She's our blonde, British baker; she really specializes in trying to find the perfect substitute for fat in her baking. Allison [Fishman] is our classic American beauty, girl-next-door, from New York, and she is amazing at cooking instruction— she's very technical. I'm total SoCal, surfer girl, born and raised with a Japanese mother and an American father. So I grew up with all different kinds of cuisines, very cultured, well-traveled and I bring more of the ethnic edge. We are so different but when we come together we make this amazing team and we just feed off of each other.

TVGuide: What's your favorite recipe you've made on the show?

Kumai: The roasted chicken was so good— it's a classic everybody should know how to make. Also one of the alternative recipes I loved was the tequila lime sautéed shrimp tacos. It was always too fattening so I try to find the really healthy, California way to jazz it up.

TVGuide: There's been some controversy about Kim Kardashian being labeled as plus-size. Being on TV, do you feel pressure to stay slim?

Kumai: Kim Kardashian is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. For people to say things like that just blow my mind because it's not all about your waistline. I defend someone like her because she's beautiful and even Allison, Harry and I all have to work really hard to maintain our weight. We're all in the same boat together. Nobody's perfect and everyone can be beautiful in their own way. Dieting has become part of the culture [and] has taken over the world of food. We just want to be able to teach women that food isn't your enemy. It's going to be here for the rest of your life, you may as well make amends with it.

Cook Yourself Thin Mondays at 5 pm/ET on Lifetime.

Hot New Book- Who's Got Your Back by Project Greenlight's Keith Ferrazzi

www.SeducingMrRight.com

Keith Ferrazzi's new book, Who's Got Your Back: The Breakthrough Program to Build Deep, Trusting Relationships That Create Success--and Won't Let You Fail is ready to help YOU drastically change your life. His idea is simple: Hold a small few close. Make these few the smart, real people in your life that will give you the honest truth about the missteps they see in your life and life-plan (no yes-men). Keep them in your life and have them hold you accountable.

Keith Ferrazzi- Author of "Who's Got Your back?"

Ferrazzi's ideas mirror those of many great men and titans of industry before him. It's a worthy read with much to teach. Use his wisdom to change YOUR life and move closer to the life YOU DESERVE!

"If I'd had this book at the start of my career, I would have saved myself 30 years of trial and error. If you are serious about your success, I strongly recommend that you read this book and build your support circle today."

- Marshall Goldsmith, author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There, a NYT best seller, WSJ #1 business book

Disregard the myth of the lone professional "superman" and the rest of our culture's go-it alone mentality. The real path to success in your career and in your personal life is through creating an inner circle of "lifeline relationships" - deep, close relationships with a few key trusted individuals who will offer the encouragement, feedback, and generous mutual support that every one of us needs to reach our full potential. Whether your dream is to lead a company, be a top producer in your field, overcome the self-destructive habits that hold you back, lose weight or make a difference in the larger world, Who's Got Your Back will give you the roadmap you've been looking for to achieve the success you deserve.

Keith Ferrazzi, the internationally renowned thought leader, consultant, and bestselling author of Never Eat Alone, shows us that becoming a winner in any field of endeavor requires a trusted team of advisors who can offer guidance and help to hold us accountable to achieving our goals. It is the reason PH.D candidates have advisor teams, top executives have boards, world class athletes have fitness coaches, and presidents have cabinets.

In this step-by-step guide to the powerful principles behind personal growth and change, you'll learn how to:

• Master the mindsets that will help you to build deeper, more trusting "lifeline relationships"
• Overcome the career-crippling habits that hold you back, once and for all
• Get further, faster by setting goals in a dramatically more powerful way
• Use "sparring" as a productive tool to make the decisions that will fuel personal success
• Replace the "yes men" in your life with those who get it and care - and who will hold you accountable to achieving your goals
• Lower your guard and let others help

None of us can do it alone. We need the perspective and advice of a trusted team. And in Who's Got Your Back, Keith Ferrazzi shows us how to put our own "dream team" together. The principles learned apply to much more than just business.

10 Headlines That Will Make YOUR HUSBAND LEAVE YOU Before He Even Meets You!

www.dawnallred.wordpress.com

Your HEADLINE will get your profile read or skipped.

Next to your photo, it is one of the most powerful marketing tools of your online dating profile. A good headline can draw crowds of people, even if you don’t have a photo. A bad headline however... can make you all but invisible.

In no particular order, here are the 10 worst headlines out there... so common and boring that people don’t even see them as they skim through ads. Learn from the mistakes of the unread!

Get for FREE what everyone else is paying for here with the Match.com 7-day Free Trial and FIND YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND online!

1. HEADLINE: “Insert funny headline here.”
HE THINKS: “Wow, people are still using this tired old line?”

This wasn’t funny years ago, and everyone has seen it dozens of times since. Be creative. If you’ve seen it somewhere before, it’s old news. It makes you look out of touch.


2. HEADLINE: “Clever headline #28492”
HE THINKS: “Um. Not clever’”

Says nothing interesting about you and it's way too overused. Do you really want something this boring and unoriginal to be the first thing people read about you?

3. HEADLINE: “how about diner and drinks”
HE THINKS: “You can’t even spell properly in your headline? Is our first date going to be at Chuck E Cheese?”

There is NO excuse for spelling errors in your headline, and yet it is so common. First impressions are everything, and your headline counts. It makes you look careless and sloppy (and let's be honest, not that bright). The “dinner and drinks” headline itself is also overused and coming from a woman, sounds like you are asking for a free meal.


4.HEADLINE: “Love to laugh.“
HE THINKS: “No way! Me too! We must be soul mates.”

No. No he doesn't. It doesn't send the message you want it to, that you are lighthearted and fun to be around. People write this as if it makes them unique... but have you ever known anyone who didn’t enjoy laughing? Although this headline intends to display value by making you look special, it actually reduces your value by showing that you are average.


5. HEADLINE: “I’m looking for someone special.”
HE THINKS: “Wow, I’ve just been hanging out here waiting to show myself to someone who was LOOKING for someone special! Now that you’re here, I’m saved!”

Because you are looking for someone special, does it mean that the truly special people should come check you out? Nope. No one cares what you are looking for, they only care what they are looking for. Remember that. You have to "sell" yourself online in a very small space. Use your headline to build your own value and get you what you want: Your profile read.


6. HEADLINE: “Hmm, I don’t know what to write here.”
HE THINKS: “Stumped already? Our first date is going to suck. I took the time to write something on my profile. She won't even bother to do that? Not interested.”

If you can’t think of your own headline, you’re either heavily medicated and should not be out dating or you lack any thought processes at all. There is no excuse. None. Steal something off the front page of Yahoo if you have to.


7. HEADLINE: “I’ll fill this in later.”
HE THINKS: “Too lazy to even write a headline? Guess who would be doing ALL of the work dating her...”

If you can’t be bothered, why should anyone else bother with you? Seriously, laziness is one of the biggest turn offs there is.


8. HEADLINE: “One last try...”
HE THINKS: “One last try... because you’ve struck out so many times already?”

Oh my NO NO NO. Pathetic and hurt is not SEXY. You MUST be appealing to attract. And come on, we have all been hurt. Yours is not so super special. But that headline tells everyone you are not over it. No one wants to play therapist on a date. Reminding someone of failure is never a great way to get anyone attracted to you.


9. HEADLINE: “Single and looking.”
HE THINKS: “Slutty.”

He could infer you date all the time. Guys love to think about that. (No. No they don't.) This redefines redundant, and tells the reader nothing more than that you are exactly the same as the other 50,000 people visiting the site that day.


10. HEADLINE: “Hello,” or “Hi.”
HE THINKS: “Dull.”

This is definitely one of the most common and boring headlines out there. It is completely uncreative and lacking any effort. People won’t even see it listed amongst the other interesting and funny headlines.

And the bonus number ELEVEN Worst Prize Winner is: "Picking Up the Pieces."

You know why!

And there you have the top 10 (had to be 11) most useless online dating headlines. These also fail as subject lines for first emails. The rule is - always be interesting, exciting, funny, or fascinating. Never, ever be average.

Keith Ferrazzi's smokin' hot new book, "Who's Got Your Back, The Breakthrough Program to Build Deep Trusting Relationships That--Create Success and Won't Let You Fail" is targeted at business relationships. but he is brilliant when it comes to starting and developing the kind of connections that last a lifetime.

Cook Yourself Thin Lasagna Recipe

"Cook Yourself Thin: Skinny Meals You Can Make in Minutes"

by Lifetime's Harry Eastwood

Lasagna...light but luxurious

The lasagne

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 sticks of celery, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
• 400g lean beef mince (must be the best quality, or you could try and get a butcher to mince it for you)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 315ml red wine
• 400g tin plum tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon tomato purée
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 courgettes, thinly sliced lengthways
• 1 jar of roasted red peppers in brine
• 4 sheets of lasagne

The cheese sauce

• 500ml semi-skimmed milk
• A good grating of whole nutmeg
• Salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons cornflour
• 1 teaspoon English mustard
• 80g mature cheddar cheese

Per serving:
347 calories

1. Heat up a big saucepan and add the olive oil. Sweat the onion, celery, carrot and garlic for around five minutes over a medium heat.

2. Heat a frying pan up until very hot and cook the seasoned beef, without any oil, in batches. Then add the beef to the saucepan.

The point of cooking the beef in batches is to get a good colour on it because this adds more flavour.

3. When all the beef is in the saucepan, turn up the heat and add the wine.

4. Cook until the wine has all been absorbed and then add the tinned tomatoes, tomato purée, bay leaf and oregano. Season and simmer for 30 minutes or until rich and tasty.

5. Preheat a conventional oven to 180ºC, or a fan-assisted one to 160ºC.

6. Heat a griddle pan. Season the courgettes and lightly chargrill or sear on each side, then leave on a plate until assembling time. Drain the peppers and also add to the plate.

7. For the cheese sauce: heat the milk up gently with a good grating of nutmeg, some salt and pepper. Mix the cornflour with 50ml of the milk and whisk back into the milk, continuing to cook for two to three minutes until thickened.

8. Add the mustard and half the cheese. Check the seasoning and set aside.

9. Now for the fun part: Take a baking dish and start layering up the ingredients. Start with a layer of meat, then peppers, then meat, then courgettes, then meat, then pasta and finally cheese sauce.

10. Top with the rest of the cheese and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until bubbling.

Top 10 SuperFoods...Keep Your Dress Size Small and Your Wallet FAT!

What Is The Superfood Buzz?

"Cook Yourself Thin: Skinny Meals You Can Make in Minutes" is the HOT new cookbook based on the Lifetime Television Show. The focus is on tiny simple steps we can take to result in a significant difference. Isn't it wonderful when we find out that easily accessible foods that don't cost a fortune, better yet, that we may already use regularly, are terrifically beneficial to our health!

'Superfood' one of the latest buzzwords to fascinate foodies. But if the word has you picturing an expensive multi-level marketing order, hold your horses. Some of the most super superfoods are the ingredients we cook with every day.

"Most unprocessed, natural foods can be classed as superfoods," says food expert "The Nutrition Coach" Kim Porter, "fruits, vegetables and proteins, such as fish, are rich in nutrients and beneficial to our health.

There has been a huge amount of hype in recent years about 'superfoods', and they have come and gone in trends. While it is fantastic that these healthy foods are being brought to our attention, it's important to not get carried away on every bandwagon. Focus on a super diet (balance balance balance) rather than individual superfoods. Here are 10 of the top foods and a few new (or easy) ways to make them a part of your routine.

Beets

Beets...cleansing SuperFood!

Beets contain beta-carotene and betacyanin, powerful antioxidants which are said to help improve liver detoxification. They are also high in folic acid, essential for a healthy pregnancy. Impressively versatile, beets are a great cleansing food.

Make It Now!

Chocolate and Beetroot Brownies...hide them in chocolate

Ingredients

• 250g/10oz good, dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
• 250g/10oz unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for greasing
• 250g/10oz caster sugar
• 3 free-range eggs
• 150g self-raising flour (we used wholemeal self-raising)
• 250g beetroot, boiled until tender, peeled and grated

Method: How to make chocolate and beetroot brownies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease a baking tin of approximately 20 x 30 x 3cm and line the bottom with baking parchment.

2. Break up the chocolate into pieces, cut the butter into cubes then mix them up a bit in a heatproof bowl. As the oven begins to warm up, put the bowl onto one of the shelves for a few minutes until the chocolate and butter starts to melt. Stir, and put back into the oven for a few more minutes to melt completely.

3. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl until combined, then beat in the melted chocolate and butter until smooth. Gently fold in the flour then the beetroot – be careful not to overmix or it will make the brownies tough.

4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth over the top with a spatula. Bake for about 20 minutes. A knife or skewer pushed into the middle should come out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Don't be tempted to overcook them! Remove the tin from the oven and leave on wire rack to cool before cutting into squares.

Garlic

Garlic...the natural antibiotic!

Green tea is very rich in a group of potent antioxidants called flavonoids, which are said to have immune enhancing and cancer protective properties. It is thought that one of the reasons why cancer rates are lower in Japan than the Western world is due to the high consumption of green tea (around three cups daily).

Turmeric

Turmeric...a Powerful Antioxident

Turmeric has been used for centuries in China and India as an anti-inflammatory agent and can be helpful in cases of joint and muscle pain. Turmeric is also said to be a powerful antioxidant and a source of iron, manganese and vitamin B6, all of which adds up to the wonderful conclusion: eating curry is good for you. Yeah us!

Although curry and potatoes are now great British staples, both foods originated outside of the UK. Curry powder came from India and was first sold in the UK in the 18th century, while potatoes arrived on our shores in the 16th century from the Americas.

Red Wine

Red Wine...relaxing and healthful!

Stock up your wine rack. According to Kim, the odd tipple of red wine won't do you any harm and in fact, might benefit you. Red wine has protective properties due to a high content of polyphenols, antioxidants which can apparently protect against cancer, heart disease and (brilliantly) premature ageing. Wines made from Tannat or Malbec grapes usually contain the highest polyphenol levels.

"My Sisters Keeper" the book and movie

"My Sister's Keeper" is the new movie starring Cameron Diaz (the mom) and Sofia Vassilieva (the kid) coming out June 26, 2009. It's based on the controversial book by Jodi Picoult.

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

What the press is saying...

"My Sister's Keeper" a Novel

Eileen Rieback says:

Jodi Picoult has masterfully covered yet another controversial topic in her novel "My Sister's Keeper." This time, young Kate is diagnosed with a severe form of leukemia. Her parents then have a baby, Anna, who is genetically selected to be a close donor match for Kate. From her birth onward into her early teens, Anna is called upon to undergo increasingly invasive and dangerous procedures to provide blood, bone marrow, and other tissues to sustain her older sister's life. Now, a kidney is needed, and Anna brings a lawsuit against her parents, claiming the right to her make own decision about what medical procedures can be performed on her. Anna's mother Sara, an attorney, decides to represent her own daughter Kate at the trial.

There are some very difficult questions raised in this story. Does Anna have the obligation to risk her own health to save her sister? Do her parents have the right to make the medical decisions about Anna's donor role, and where should their loyalties lie? Where is the fine line between what is legal and what is ethical in a situation like this? There seem to be no right or wrong answers here, and the ensuing trial recounts all the physical, moral, psychological, and familial struggles that are brought to bear on the issue. Picoult paints a powerfully emotional picture of a family in turmoil. She adds additional tension to the story through brother Jesse, whose drug taking and criminal tendencies add even more burdens to an already overwrought situation. The story also includes the love/hate relationship between Anna's lawyer and her legal guardian.

The narrative switches from character to character so that the reader hears the voices of each family member, as well as that of Anna's lawyer and of the legal guardian appointed to watch out for her interests. Sara's narrative includes flashbacks on the history of Kate's illness, Anna's role in providing medical support, and the toll that the constant threat of Kate's death takes on the family. There are several shocking twists to the plot that make the story even more riveting. This is Picoult's best book yet!

Publishers Weekly says:
The difficult choices a family must make when a child is diagnosed with a serious disease are explored with pathos and understanding in this 11th novel by Picoult (Second Glance, etc.). The author, who has taken on such controversial subjects as euthanasia (Mercy), teen suicide (The Pact) and sterilization laws (Second Glance), turns her gaze on genetic planning, the prospect of creating babies for health purposes and the ethical and moral fallout that results. Kate Fitzgerald has a rare form of leukemia. Her sister, Anna, was conceived to provide a donor match for procedures that become increasingly invasive. At 13, Anna hires a lawyer so that she can sue her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used when a kidney transplant is planned. Meanwhile, Jesse, the neglected oldest child of the family, is out setting fires, which his firefighter father, Brian, inevitably puts out. Picoult uses multiple viewpoints to reveal each character's intentions and observations, but she doesn't manage her transitions as gracefully as usual; a series of flashbacks are abrupt. Nor is Sara, the children's mother, as well developed and three-dimensional as previous Picoult protagonists. Her devotion to Kate is understandable, but her complete lack of sympathy for Anna's predicament until the trial does not ring true, nor can we buy that Sara would dust off her law degree and represent herself in such a complicated case. Nevertheless, Picoult ably explores a complex subject with bravado and clarity, and comes up with a heart-wrenching, unexpected plot twist at the book's conclusion.
