An amazing story about Henrietta Lacks and her cells, known as HeLa. Combining both science and the story of Henrietta and her family made for a mesmerizing read. So many positive things came from the HeLa cells and yet her family suffered (suffers) terribly while the world made use of the cells taken from her cervical cancer. Definitely worth reading!
