I like biographies and historical fiction so I wasn't too sure what to expect as I picked this book up. Truly I expected this to be a slow read with a lot of technical detail. The opposite was true! I couldn't put this book down! It was a good balance of family history, medical research and just good story telling that presents the moral dilemmas raised via medical research and looking to the greater good. It's also interesting to hear the family's perspective and be awakened to how their life experiences were affected by the HeLa cell line.
