The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Movie Tie-In Edition) by Rebecca Skloot
The Love of a Father is a personal story of the life author Faith Parker shared with her father, who gave her some of the most important treasures in her life. After his death, Faith noticed a parallel between her father and the Heavenly Father as she allowed Him to fill the void and begin a transformation process in her life. We sometimes underestimate the value of our father's love and the priceless gifts they offer. With this book, she encourages readers to look for the treasures in the Heavenly Father, cherish them, and share them with the rest of the world.Rebecca Skloot is an award-winning science writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine; O, The Oprah Magazine; Discover; and many others.
