Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

I read Small Great Things back in November of 2016.  Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse. She loves her job of twenty years and she's good at it. It was just a typical day for Ruth at work until it wasn't. Ruth Jefferson's newest patient is little baby boy but she is quickly pulled off taking care of him.

His parents are white nationalist and don't want Ruth a black woman touching their baby. Ruth is understandably upset that the hospital is complying with their wishes but she abides by them however she is put into a sticky situation when chaos erupts at the hospital. All other nurses or with other patients when Turk Bauer son's stop breathing. Ruth and others attempt to save his life but is is futile. 

Turk and his wife witnessed the scent in which their son died. They felt that Ruth purposefully killed their child because he was white and they were white nationalists. Ruth is fired from her job and her nursing license is suspended. 

In typical Picoult fashion a intense and emotional court battle takes place. The story being told in multiple point of views from Ruth's to Turks to Ruth's lawyer. This is an emotional read and with it being my second read  I discovered new things and information hit harder. This is a Jodi Picoult book you don't want to miss.
