具体描述
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.

真的不想再读黑白文化的书了，一点共鸣都没有。。。
评分多视角讲述方式没毛病 可是总是重复讲述而不推进情节就有点受不了了……最后的closing argument超级燃！
评分Amazing
评分职业道德和种族歧视掺杂在一起，很精彩的设定。最后结尾有些戏剧性有些简单了。歧视无处不在，主动的和被动的，不相信歧视会消失，只要能克制就算胜利了
评分这本书不仅情节引人入胜，也深入骨髓的探讨了种族问题。作为一个从小受精英教育、自以为把种族平等贯彻得很好的我，来美国这么久，第一次明白原来我根本不懂种族歧视啊，也下定决心从自己开始努力消除一切隐形的不公平
