Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa.

She was a poor, black tobacco farmer whose cells--taken without her knowledge in 1951--became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, and more.

Henrietta's cells have been bought and sold by the BILLIONS, yes she remains virtually unknown, and her family can't afford health insurance.

This phenomenal New York Times bestseller tells a riveting story of the collision between ethics, race, and medicine; of scientific discovery and faith healing; and of a daughter consumed with questions about the mother she never knew.

Comfy, great quality
Size: 6-10, Color: White
I’ve had these for quite a while now. They are holding up very well as i wear them a lot for work (coaching). They are very cushiony and most importantly, they do not slip! I would compare these to Bombas but at a significantly better price point.

My favorite socks now!
Size: Medium, Color: Deep Sea/Breaker Blue/Electro Pink
I love socks! And these are quickly becoming my favorites! They do not slide down into your shoe no matter if you are working out or just wearing them for normal everyday use. The price is a little higher than I would normally pay for 3 pair of socks, but after wearing these for a few weeks, I think the quality and comfortability of these socks is well worth the money.

Quality, comfort and support.
Size: Medium, Color: Deep Sea/Breaker Blue/Electro Pink
These socks are the bomb! If you are athletic or on your feet for extended periods these great looking, well made socks are constructed to offer just the right amount of compression and support. The toe is soft and thick. I will order these again and again. Hopefully Amazon will add even more color choices on the future.
