She ends the book in much the same place she started and never has to reconcile with any of her choices. The film gives her AdaptationalKarma by avoiding the CruelTwistEnding. By having [[spoiler: Kate die, instead of Anna]], Sara must give up being the "martyr mother" and let her go. Having [[spoiler: Anna live]] also means that Sara needs to actually build and repair that relationship. The closing narration implies that's still in progress several years later.

Deleting the mention of The Bad Guy Wins from the Broken Base entry, since Sara is devestated to lose Anna, and clearly doesn't consider it a "victory". Deleting Fridge Horror because nothing about the entry describes a horrific realization upon reflection. It's just describing the ways that Sara neglected her family. Trimming down the Wangst entries because it's several subbullets all about Sara.

** It should be clarified that Sara's martyr complex toward Kate's illness borders into some disturbingly narcissistic areas at some points, often using her "maternal instinct" and suffering to justify behavior that is outright neglectful, if not emotionally manipulative. For example -
*** When Brian, the father, gives Anna the locket she pawns earlier in the book, Sara justifies shock at seeing him reward Anna's gift of marrow as (paraphrasing) "not occurring to her that suffering was worth rewarding, since they'd all been through so much of it." This is after she nearly refuses to see Anna after her operation (a very painful one, at that), claiming that she's too busy with Kate.
*** Outright admitting that she's given up on Jesse in the narrative, dismissing his emotional claim that she "doesn't know what it's like to be the kid whose sister is dying of cancer" by saying her experience as the mother of said child trumps his. She also accuses him of being a drug addict, only to be shocked into silence when [[spoiler: he angrily explains that the injection marks are from donating platelets for Kate.]]

When Campbell rebuffs this and even calls her out thoroughly on her egomania and abuse, [[{{Hypocrite}} she just dismisses it all as a manipulative runaround]].
*** In one scene after interviewing with Campbell over the lawsuit, Sara states outright that Anna has "signed her sister's death warrant" because of it.
*** Even after the court hearing, where the revelation of [[spoiler: Kate's support of Anna's lawsuit]], Sara insists that while what she did may not have been fair, moral, or ethical, it was surely "right." In fact, the only apology she ever issues in the book is to Kate, not Anna or Jesse.

In a very telling scene in the novel, Kate, frustrated and overwhelmed by the constant regime of recurrent hospitalization, declares lucidly that she's had enough of it all.
