Friend, reader and former Chicago Reporter intern Stephanie Behne offered the following suggestion:
Book Idea – The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot:
Hi Jeff!
Had to write a quick note–I’m starting the above for my book club, and I totally thought of you…not that you’re at a loss for books to read or things to write, I’m sure!
It’s about a black woman in the 50s whose cells were taken and used without her knowledge in many significant advances in scientific research…
It’s looks good and might touch on a lot of themes your readers would be interested in.
I hope you and yours are well and looking forward to summer the way we are!
Best,
Stephanie
Thanks for the tip, Stephanie! Please feel free to add your suggestions, everyone!
