I knew this was an important story that needed to be told as well as it needed to be heard. I was worried I would not understand the science behind all the cell talk & would unfortunately get bored but that ended up being the total opposite. I was very much invested throughout the whole book. I experienced many emotions while listening to this story…most of it anger and frustration but also glee for the family to finally get their story told about Henrietta Lacks & how her cells has contributed greatly to science and development of medicine all over the world that also help launch a multi trillion dollar industry (𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌). This is definitely a valuable read for everyone!
