Engage in a book discussion with the Healdton Community Library at 5:30 PM, on Monday, August 31st. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. Participants will share views on Jodi Picoult’s “Small Great Things”.
Ruth Jefferson, an experienced African American nurse, is barred from caring for a newborn by the baby’s white supremacist parents. When the child later faces a medical crisis, Ruth hesitates to help due to hospital orders and is charged with a crime. Her white public defender, Kennedy, advises avoiding any mention of race at trial. As the case draws public attention, both women are forced to reconsider their beliefs and trust each other.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Healdton Community Library at 554 South 4th Street in Healdton or call (580) 229-0590. The Healdton Community Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
