SMALL GREAT THINGS: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 01240016B87998
English Summary/英文概要： Raised as the daughter of a black maid in a privileged white household, Ruth is no stranger to prejudice.
Now, as a hospital nurse, she thinks she is a world away from the inequality that defined her mother’s life. But the patients in her care have not all moved on so far. A white supremacist couple can dictate that no person of colour treats their newborn child.
And when that baby stops breathing on Ruth’s watch, Ruth has to decide whether her vocational oath is stronger than the hospital’s edict.
That decision - one a white nurse would never have had to make - could cost her everything.
Never afraid to confront the moral dilemmas of our times in the most human terms, this new novel is Jodi Picoult at her most thought-provoking, life-affirming best. A powerful look at the judgements we make, the differences between us - and the humanity that binds us together.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 即將改編為電影，由《謀殺入門課》、《自殺突擊隊》、《心靈圍籬》Viola Davis主演、《樂來越愛你》（La La Land）製作人Marc Platt製作，《落日車神》、《證據》（Evidence）Adam Siegel監製。
在一户优越的白人家庭由一位黑人女佣母亲抚养长大，从小到大，Ruth已经对周围的偏见习以为常。
如今，作为一名医院护士，Ruth认为自己已经远离了不公平的待遇（这种不公平限定了她母亲的一生）。然而，医院里的病人并非全都开明懂事，一对白人夫妇就要求有色人种不得照料他们的新生儿。
而当Ruth发现那个婴儿就快断气时，她不得不在自己的职业誓言与医院的规定之间做一个抉择。
而这个抉择——一条白人护士绝对不会选择的道路——将会令她付出惨痛的代价。
从不畏惧面临道德两难境地，这本全新的小说是作者 Jodi Picoult笔下最发人深省、最棒的著作。回顾我们所作出的每一个判断，我们与将我们捆绑在一起的人性之间究竟有何不同？(LYR)
