About this book
Rebecca Skloot traces the life of Henrietta Lacks and the history of the cells taken from her without her knowledge. Known as HeLa, those cells became widely used in medical research while her family faced poverty and unanswered questions. The account connects scientific discovery with consent, racial inequality and the family's effort to understand Henrietta's legacy.
