Teaser Tuesday (May 18): The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.



My teaser is from Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks:

"The cells were growing, but Mary didn't think much of it - other cells had survived for a while in the lab.  But Henrietta's cells weren't merely surviving, they were growing with mythological intensity." (page 40)

    Interesting teaser! I saw this book on someone else's teaser too. I'll have to look for the book now. My Tuesday Teaser is from Claire de Lune by Christine Johnson.
