Not sure if you've read any of Jodi Picoult's novels - they are pretty engaging and memorable - always dealing with pretty intense dramatic topics that are real life family decisions/ happenings, just rarely talked about.
I read this one before watching the movie. There are lots of twists and turns along the way - don't want to spoil it for you so read on at your own risk! Essentially a couple consider having another baby who may be a match for medically to help their older daughter who has leukemia. Fascinating dilemma. Anyhoo - Cameron Diaz is actually playing the role of mother - which is a bit of turn for her - growing up and maturing! You'll recognize Abigail Breslin who does an admirable job of being the lead throughout film.
Good rental, slightly emotionally draining! Julie
