McGrath's Legacy Book Club: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

Course | Registration opens 8/3/2026 8:00 AM EDT

Henrietta Lacks was a poor tobacco farmer whose cells were taken without her knowledge by scientists. These cells are still alive today and have become one of the most important tools in medicine. A discussion on the book will be held. Participation is encouraged but not required.

Alice Lynch

Reading has always been a passion for Alice Lynch. From Nancy Drew to Louise Penny, books are a constant companion. Her goal for the book club courses is to continue the tradition set by their founder, Pat McGrath, to challenge members to read something outside of their comfort zone and then join in a lively discussion with their peers.
