Now an HBO® Film starring Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERHer name was Henrietta Lacks; but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells—taken without her knowledge in 1951—became one of the most important tools in medicine; vital for developing the polio vaccine; cloning; gene mapping; and more. Henrietta's cells have been bought and sold by the billions; yet she remains virtually unknown; and her family can't afford health insurance. This phenomenal New York Times bestseller tells a riveting story of the collision between ethics; race; and medicine; of scientific discovery and faith healing; and of a daughter consumed with questions about the mother she never knew.
