Chapter 9: Turner Station

Rebecca Skloot went to Turner Station, a small town near Sparrow's Point to meet with Henrietta's family. She got all the way there and then Sonny, Henrietta's son, decided not to meet with her. Skloot ended up driving around looking for anyone who knew something about Henrietta, which was pretty much everyone, but no one would tell her. She got into contact with a woman named Courtney Speed who had her watch a video called "The Way of All Flesh" which was a BBC special about Henrietta and her cells. At the end there was a scene in Clover with Henrietta's cousin Fred. It was then that Rebecca knew that she had to go there to get Henrietta's story. Sonny just laughed at her and said good luck.
