Here are some great articles about Jodi and the book!
Jodi Picoult needs no introduction… she’s the #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty-three novels, including Leaving Time, The Storyteller, Lone Wolf, Between the Lines, Sing You Home, House Rules, Handle with Care, Change of Heart, Nineteen Minutes, and My Sister’s Keeper. Every book Jodi writes is impeccably researched and plotted, and she appeals to everyone - the uber-literary, the dedicated book club reader, the college student, the fellow writer, and the young adult. Small Great Things is perhaps even more stunning than the rest, complete with her characteristic page-turning plot and gripping moral dilemma at the heart of her characters’ actions. In the novel, Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse with more than twenty years’ experience and during a routine shift, a newborn who she has been forbidden to touch (the newborn’s parents are white supremacists and ask the hospital to assign a nurse other than Ruth, who is African American), goes into cardiac arrest. Does Ruth obey orders or does she intervene? In Small Great Things, Jodi Picoult tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn’t offer easy answers. |
