THE HOUSE OF EVE - SADEQA JOHNSON TASCHENBUCH

'Luminous and moving!' Kate Quinn 'Unforgettable' Kristen Harmel   Philadelphia  1948:
Fifteen-year-old Ruby's dreams are almost within reach. She's going to be the first in her
family to attend college  despite having a mother more interested in keeping a man than raising
her only daughter. But falling madly in love with the one boy she is forbidden from threatens
to pull Ruby back into poverty and desperation. When she's imprisoned in a home for unwed
mothers - locked in the House of Eve with other 'fallen girls' - everything she's worked so
hard for starts slipping through her fingers.   Washington  DC  1948: Eleanor arrives in the
city with ambition  hope and a past she's trying her hardest to run from. When she meets
William at Howard University  with his inky black eyes and broad shoulders  it's love at first
sight. But William hails from one of Washington  DC's elite Black families  who don't let just
anyone into their inner circle - especially not a girl from 'the wrong side of the tracks'.
Eleanor hopes that a baby will mean they finally accept her  and that her secrets won't see the
light of day - but fate has other plans in store...  In the dawn of the 1950s  Ruby and Eleanor
are complete strangers - until their paths unexpectedly collide. Forced to make the most
heartbreaking decisions of their lives  will their choices save them... or be their undoing?
