#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • With richly layered
characters and a gripping moral dilemma that will lead readers
to question everything they know about privilege, power, and
race, Small Great Things is the stunning new page-turner from
Jodi Picoult. Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a
Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years’ experience.
During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn,
only to be told a few minutes later that she’s been reassigned
to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don’t
want Ruth, who is African American, to touch their child. The
hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby
goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery.
Does she obey orders or does she intervene? With incredible
empathy, intelligence, and candor, Jodi Picoult tackles race,
privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn’t offer
easy answers. Small Great Things is a remarkable achievement
from a writer at the top of her game.
Characters: 122. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
