520    "This stunning new novel is Jodi Picoult at her finest--
       complete with unflinching insights, richly layered 
       characters, and a page-turning plot with a gripping moral 
       dilemma at its heart. 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? 
       Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is 
       charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white 
       public defender, takes her case but gives unexpected 
       advice: Kennedy insists that mentioning race in the 
       courtroom is not a winning strategy. Conflicted by 
       Kennedy's counsel, Ruth tries to keep life as normal as 
       possible for her family--especially her teenage son--as 
       the case becomes a media sensation. As the trial moves 
       forward, Ruth and Kennedy must gain each other's trust, 
       and come to see that what they've been taught their whole 
       lives about others--and themselves--might be wrong. 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. Praise for Jodi Picoult's Leaving Time "A
       riveting drama."--Us Weekly "[A] moving tale."--People "A 
       fast-paced, surprise-ending mystery."--USA Today 
       "Poignant. an entertaining story about parental love, 
       friendship, loss."--The Washington Post"--|cProvided by

520    "A woman and her husband admitted to a hospital to have a 
       baby requests that their nurse be reassigned - they are 
       white supremacists and don't want Ruth, who is black, to 
       touch their baby. The hospital complies, but the baby 
       later goes into cardiac distress when Ruth is on duty. She
       hesitates before rushing in to perform CPR. When her 
       indecision ends in tragedy, Ruth finds herself on trial, 
       represented by a white public defender who warns against 
       bringing race into a courtroom. As the two come to develop
       a truer understanding of each other's lives, they begin to
       doubt the beliefs they each hold most dear"--|cProvided by
       publisher. 
520    When her reluctance to treat the newborn of a white 
       supremacist couple results in the child's death, a black 
       nurse is placed on trial and is aided by a white public 
       defender who urges her not to bring up race in the 
       courtroom.
