Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than 20 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?

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

October 2016

For years, my favorites of Jodi Picoult’s 26 books were NINETEEN MINUTES and MY SISTER’S KEEPER. Each of them struck a real chord with me. When I heard the premise of SMALL GREAT THINGS, I was similarly intrigued. It so delivered, making it the third of her books that I highly recommend. Indeed I have found myself “book-talking” this book to friends, colleagues and fellow readers for the last few months. When I read an early copy, it was during a very busy week, and I remember putting aside many tasks to finish it.

Week of February 19, 2018

Paperback releases for the week of February 19th include SMALL GREAT THINGS, a page-turning novel from Jodi Picoult that will lead readers to question everything they know about privilege, power and race; THE LAST TUDOR by Philippa Gregory, which features one of the most famous women in history, Lady Jane Grey, and her two sisters, each of whom dared to defy her queen; THE IDENTICALS, Elin Hilderbrand's novel about identical twin sisters who couldn't look more alike...or live more differently; and CORETTA, the life story of Coretta Scott King as told fully for the first time, toward the end of her life, to the Reverend Dr. Barbara Reynolds.
