Review An Amazon Best Book of October 2016: Jodi Picoult™s SmallGreat Things is about racism, choice, fear, and hope. The novel is based onthe true story of a labor and delivery nurse who was prohibited from caringfor a newborn because the father requested that no African-American nursestend to his baby. In the fictional version, Ruth, the African-American nursein question, finds herself on trial for events related to the same requestmade by a white supremacist father. Using the narratives of Ruth, the baby™sfather, and the female public defender who takes Ruth™s case, Picoult examinesmultiple facets of racism. The topic of race in America is difficult to talkabout, but in in an honest and revealing way Picoult allows readers to drawtheir own conclusions about how we see ourselves and others in the world.Small Great Things is an important and thought-provoking novel about power andprejudice that deserves to be read, digested, and shared with others. –SeiraWilson, The Amazon Book Review Read more Review I couldn™t put it down.
