Skloot makes a remarkable debut with this multilayered story about ‘faith, science, journ-alism, and grace.

“Heartbreaking and powerful, Rebecca Skloot’s sensitive account tells of the enduring, deeply personal sacrifice of this African American woman and her family and, at long last, restores a human face to the cell line that propelled 20th-century biomedicine. A stunning illustration of how race, gender, and disease intersect to produce a unique form of social vulnerability, this is a poignant, necessary, and brilliant book.”
