Ruth Jefferson is an experienced labour and delivery nurse whose life changes dramatically after a newborn baby dies following a medical emergency. The baby's parents, who hold deeply prejudiced beliefs, had previously requested that Ruth not care for their child. When she becomes the subject of a criminal investigation, the case raises difficult questions about race, privilege and justice. As the legal proceedings unfold, the perspectives of Ruth, the baby's father and her defence lawyer reveal the complexity of the situation. Jodi Picoult explores prejudice, moral responsibility and the importance of understanding different perspectives.
