my review
How far should a parent go to save a child? This question is put to test this story takes place in the relatively near future, where biotechnology has progressed to the point that human organs can be grown in a lab. Jenna discovers that her heartbroken parents saved her life by illegally using technology developed by her father's company to recreate her body and mind, using only the ten percent of her brain that could be saved. Is she human or not? This book takes the universal popular teen question "Who am I" to a new level. Jenna's story is not only about discovering who she was before her accident, but who she really is afterwards, and defining what her unique place in the world will be.
questions Jenna had
Who am I really? Jenna has troubles trying to get in touch with her
self and figure out who she really is
What do people think of me? People know that jenna is not normal there
is something off about her and has to learn how to deal with the struggle.
Where am I from? she doesn't know her honest coming
Why did my parents so this to me? The love of Jenna's parents might
have gone too far to save her life
