^^^ Each year a book is chosen for the campus-wide reading project. That was the book from 4-5 years ago. A couple years ago we read The Warmth of Other Suns, which had some crossover elements with the Lacks Family moving to Baltimore to work at the steel mill.
I found this book to be fascinating from a scientific aspect and a sociological aspect. I asked our chapter advisor, who is a cancer researcher, about the book and she emphatically stated that we owe a great debt to Henrietta Lacks, because they really have laid the foundation for many advancements in modern medicine.
