I absolutely hated the ending of the book. She just gave up in my opinion -- possibly to meet a publisher's deadline? I read it for a book group I was in years ago and now my regular book group is reading it. I can't bring myself to reread it. It had great potential but totally failed. I wanted to see how the family was going to deal with the decsions that were made. You could totally understand both the parent's reasoning for what they did as well as the sister wanting control over her own body. THe ending was the biggest cop-out ever written.
