Description
Little Great Things Book Description: How many exceptions does it take to question the norm? Forget everything you know about privilege, power, and race. Here comes Jodi Picoult with a breathtaking novel about the most crucial dilemmas. Ruth Jefferson worked hard to get where she is. As a black man... He did small things in a tremendous way in a society where he wasn't allowed to do tremendous things. She has been attending births and helping mothers and babies as a perfect nurse for twenty years. Today, she faces the Bauer family, who believe in white supremacy and will only allow one of them to touch their baby. She shouldn't touch the baby, that's okay, but it's obvious that something is wrong. Should Ruth put aside everything she's learned over the years, the oath she's sworn, and remain a spectator, or should she risk everything and try to bring this sick baby back to life? What if this effort means the beginning of her own end... Jodi Picoult reaches her readers with a novel that is at the peak of her career. A provocative novel that will create controversy on every page. - Booklist Little Magnificent Things is the most important novel Picoult has ever written.
