After reading the first six chapters yesterday evening ... this is an amazing book. Well written, reads like a novel, but is a true story of a woman and her family. She died never knowing that her immortal cells would do so much good around the world.
The history of HeLa ... descriptions of the treatments Henrietta received ... terrifying and noteworthy. Her legacy to us all is immortal. Mankind's debt to her bottomless.
