She graduated in 1987 but wrote two short stories for the new York Times before she even graduated. While in college she met Tim Van Leer and they were married and had three children. Her first book in the number one spot in the new York times called Nineteen minutes, but a very famous book of her is the Sisters Keepers. This book is about a young girl named Anna Fitzgerald who was born just to help her sister, who has leukemia, stay alive. This is about her hiring a lawyer so she can get the rights to her own body. She loves her sister and wants to help her, but she wants to be able to make her own decisions on what she should do especially if it involves serious surgeries.
