The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Unbeleivable, shocking, amazing - just some of the adjectives I can use to describe this nf story
I found out many things I did not know & was unaware of happening even till this day. At times I got a little tired of all the people , scienctists, doctors etc. with the medical information. Some seemed repetitious , but I kept on because the story gets better as you get into her family & their lives. Great, great book & well done by author.It's hard to retain all the medical facts, but it's well worth the time & effort to read. I can see why the author had to gather so much information to tell this tale. She set up a Henrietta Lack foundation also.
