bookshelves: adult, nonfiction

Author Jeff Wheelwright delves eloquently and with sensitivity into the mystery of why a young Hispanic woman from the four corners region of the country and other members of her extended family are struck down by an aggressive form of cancer known to predominantly afflict women of Jewish descent. Wheelwright gathers the genetic scientists and genealogists at the forefront of the race to save these women’s lives and find answers to how race, religion and DNA impact our lives. Recommended for readers with an interest in scientific mysteries and fans of “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”. -Amy O.-
