he Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

by Rebecca Skloot

I read this for a book club meeting that I never made it to but had no idea about the subject of the book when I picked it up.  It was a little single-minded for my tastes and if it hadn't been on the list I never would have taken it home from the library but, even so, it had some interesting parts.  I am fascinated by race relations in the US and how they are developing still.  This book holds a place on a shelf of some obscure thought process regarding that - yes, we still are screwy with this topic.  Oh yes.
