Look, I feel for the family, but they also come off as fairly unreliable narrators. Not to say the overall sentiment isn't valid but like for example, this Babette (? audio, dunno what her name actually is) sure has a lot to say on Henrietta's thoughts and feelings, yet I highly doubt she could have any real idea of that considering her husband--the eldest child--doesn't even remember his mother.

Was confused by the pic of the woman on the edition I'm listening to bc googling Henrietta Lacks only comes up with one photo (used on the cover of other editions).. why would they put Oprah on the book?? Ofc they needed actors to represent ppl in a film, but are you trying to honour Henrietta Lacks or not, because replacing her image when you didn't need to is pretty disrespectful imo. At least use the irl Deborah??
