[[Jodi Picoult]] is an American author, whose books tend towards family drama and relationships, though [[He Also Did|she also did]] a stint on ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' at one point. Three of her books have been adapted into [[Lifetime Movie of the Week|Lifetime movies]], while a fourth, ''[[My Sister's Keeper]]'', was adapted into a feature film in 2009.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Of all sorts. A particularly favoured type is the parent of the [[Littlest Cancer Patient]] / [[Ill Girl]] who considers themselves an exemplary parent because of their many sacrifices for their child... but completely fails to notice that they neglect (and, in ''[[My Sister's Keeper]]'', '''exploit''') the healthy sibling so badly that it borders on or becomes abuse.
* [[All Take and No Give]]: Most of the mothers of an [[Ill Girl]] (or Boy) see themselves as constant "givers". Often, their motivation turns out to be rather more selfish than they would ever admit (see the [[My Sister's Keeper]]'s entry on [[Parental Favoritism]], or the entry for [[The Caretaker]] below).
