"Fifteen-year-old Ruby Pearsall is on track to becoming the first in her family to attend college, in spite of having a mother more interested in keeping a man than raising a daughter. But a taboo love affair threatens to pull her back down into the poverty and desperation that has been passed on to her like a birthright...Eleanor Quarles arrives in Washington, DC, with ambition and secrets. When she meets the handsome William Pride at Howard University, they fall madly in love. But William hails from one of DC's elite wealthy Black families, and his parents don't let just anyone into their fold. Eleanor hopes that a baby will make her finally feel at home in William's family and grant her the life she's been searching for"-- Provided by publisher.

Love the premises, was wanting for surprises submitted by adj737 on June 9, 2023, 9:02pm The historical peek back was a story that needed to be told, and I'm happy to have sat with it... but the ark of events didn't pull me in or or have anything surprising I didn't suspect from the summary.
