I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion. 
 Ruth Jefferson has worked for 20 years as a labor and delivery nurse in New Haven, Connecticut. One day, she does a routine check-up on a newborn only to have the parents tell her they want to talk to her supervisor. The parents are white supremacists and demand Ruth, who is black, not be allowed to touch their baby. The next day, their baby codes while Ruth is the only nurse around. Others show up soon, but the baby dies, and its parents want Ruth charged with murdering their son. 
 This book includes the points of view of Ruth; Turk, the baby's father, and Kennedy, the public defender assigned to Ruth. She talked to black women and a couple of former white supremacists to try to make sure she portrayed Ruth and Turk correctly, but her main point was to open people's eyes who think like Kennedy - the ones who say, "I'm not racist" but don't understand the small ways they take their white privilege for granted. It was painful to read the parts from Turk's point of view, and it took me longer than normal to read this book because of that. It can be uncomfortable reading the book, but that is the point of it, trying to get uncomfortable topics out in the open.
