The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

I had heard about Henrietta Lacks for one brief moment in a bio class in high school. I'm very glad I got to read this to learn her story. Her family was very right not to trust the author for a while because of how other (white) people have capitalized off of Lacks, and I'm glad they received the respect and kindness they deserved.
