Book Description
Now a major motion picture from HBO(R) starring Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne.
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor
Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her
cells--taken without her knowledge--became one of the most important tools in

tons--as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells
