Jodi Picoult's new book,  Small Great Things (Ballantine), has just been published. 

In her new book, Picoult tackles timely topics that are much in the news: prejudice, race and justice.

Ruth Jefferson, an African-American labor and delivery nurse with more than 20 years’ experience, is asked by white supremacists not to touch their newborn baby because of her race. When the baby goes into distress, what should she do? Should she obey the commands of the parents or her oath to heal?

The consequences of Ruth’s actions reverberate through her life and those of everyone around her as the novel moves into the courtroom, where Ruth is united with a white public defender.
