So how many of you have read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult? It is one of my favorite books of all time.
I literally just found out minutes ago that the novel is inspired by a family that I KNOW!!! Her name is Molly Nash and she has a disease called Fanconi Anemia. This is a disease that is very close to my heart (Those of you that know about the camp I volunteer at, well this is the week I go to every year, and those families are some of my favorite people in the world) I had absolutely NO IDEA that she was the inspiration for the book and the movie and it just make my heart melt. This family is SO amazing and Molly is such a great kid (and so are her siblings!!) If you want to read the story about her check it out here:
