Small Great Things

Jodi Picoult sends a powerful message with her latest book Small Great Things. As usual, she writes about a current topic and challenges you to re-examine your beliefs. With well-developed characters and an excellent plot she skillfully opens up an insightful conversation about racism. She talks about white privilege and the importance of being mindful. She sheds light on how inequality can be both robust and subtle. This book encourages you to think outside the box has made me more aware of my behavior. I would have given it five stars, but some of the courtroom scenes and the ending pushed the limits of believability. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It would spur a lively discussion and make an excellent Book Club Selection.
