Award-winning American author Jodi Picoult has penned nearly 30 novels, which have been translated into more than 30 languages. In one of her most popular books, 2004’s “My Sister’s Keeper,” teenager Anna is born to be a perfect genetic match for her sister Kate, who has leukemia. At age 13, Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation to release her from having to provide genetic material for Kate. These words come from Anna’s thoughts during an unexpectedly tender encounter with her mother over the course of the ensuing court proceedings. This sentiment can help us move through life’s difficulties by reminding us that we’re stronger than we think. No matter the circumstances, we’re always capable of reclaiming our own power.
