Book summary by Loudly, this is an abridged version of the original title.
This powerful and deeply moving book uncovers the hidden story of Henrietta Lacks, an African American woman whose cancer cells—taken without her knowledge in 1951—became one of the most important tools in modern medicine. Her cells, known as HeLa, led to groundbreaking medical advancements, yet her family remained in poverty, unaware of her legacy. This gripping narrative blends science, ethics, and personal history, raising profound questions about race, consent, and the commercialization of human biology.
