The hospital complies, but the baby later goes into cardiac distress when Ruth is on duty. She hesitates before rushing in to perform CPR. When her indecision ends in tragedy, Ruth finds herself on trial, represented by a white public defender who warns against bringing race into a courtroom. As the two come to develop a truer understanding of each other's lives, they begin to doubt the beliefs they each hold most dear. 0aAfrican American nursesvFiction. 0aCriminal defense lawyersvFiction. 0aRace relationsvFiction. 0aRacismvFiction.
