? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

In a world heavy on political correctness, how does one face direct racial discrimination?Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult extends the story of Ruth Jefferson, an Ivy League graduate who becomes a labor and delivery nurse with 20 years of experience under her belt. Despite her accolades, Jefferson has been told that she is not to touch a newborn baby because its parents disapprove of the color of her skin. One ill-fated event leads to a courtroom drama where Jefferson is ironically told not to mention race and to try and salvage whatever normalcy is left for her and her son as they await a verdict that can condemn or redeem her in post-Black Lives Matter America.
