Shine (Short Story) (Kindle Single): A Short Story

Jodi Picoult tackles issues of race and privilege in this ebook original short story, a prequel to her upcoming novel Small Great Things. In â€œShine,â€ the master storyteller and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Leaving Time and My Sisterâ€™s Keeper introduces readers to the unforgettable Ruth Brooks.
Â
Today is Ruthâ€™s first day of third grade at Dalton. The prestigious institution on New Yorkâ€™s Upper East Side couldnâ€™t be more different from her old school in Harlem. Despite being the smartest girl in her grade, Ruth suspects that her classmates and teachers only see her dark skin. She also notices that Christina, the daughter of her motherâ€™s employer, treats Ruth very differently when theyâ€™re hanging out with the popular girls rather than playing together. Ruth must navigate between two worlds, never losing sight of the dreams she has for herselfâ€”in hopes that someday, someone will see her for who she really is.
