Small Great Things – Jodi Picoult
One moment in a hospital room. Three lives changed forever.
Ruth Jefferson is an experienced Black labour and delivery nurse whose care is rejected by a white supremacist couple. When their newborn goes into distress, Ruth faces an impossible decision, and the consequences bring her into a courtroom battle that threatens everything she has worked for.
Told through the perspectives of Ruth, her white public defender and the baby’s father, Jodi Picoult explores how prejudice, privilege and assumptions shape lives in ways both visible and unseen. As their stories collide, each must confront uncomfortable truths about responsibility and justice.
Compelling and emotionally charged, this is a novel for readers who appreciate moral complexity, legal drama and stories that open up difficult conversations.
Perfect for book clubs and fans of thought-provoking contemporary fiction, including We Are Not Like Them by Christine Pride and Jo Piazza.
