So very interesting. Another injustice done to minority people. They should’ve gotten paid for the precious gift that family gave to all people instead of exploitation. One good thing came out of it was people’s rights to privacy!!!! Good reading!

Enlightening, fascinating, riveting. Thank you for telling this story this time. One of the best “the more you know” book I’ve read thus far. It really showcase why minorities/AA/Black and Brown People continue to distrust the healthcare system, it has never really been fair to us
Fascinating and compassionately written

This is a fascinating read that intertwines the science and history of HeLa with the very real and often tragic lives of Henrietta Lacks and her family.
A must read!
