The story delves into the life of Henrietta Lacks, a poor Southern farmer whose cells were taken without her consent and became vital to medical research. It explores the ethical implications of her unwitting contribution to science and the impact on her family, who grapple with her legacy. Rebecca Skloot's narrative spans from the 1950s at Johns Hopkins Hospital to contemporary East Baltimore, highlighting issues of race, ethics, and the intersection of science and humanity.
