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. But having a baby -- and fitting in -- is easier said than done. With their stories colliding in the most unexpected of ways, Ruby and Eleanor will both make decisions that shape the trajectory of their lives."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen fifties $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social status $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Washington (D.C.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 14 945 $a lpt 952 $l LYPB815 $d 20240118092152.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012413.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20231202012104.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20231114011214.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025014623.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20230804013125.0 952 $l NLPA993 $d 20230712115925.0 $m AF JOH 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015350.0 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20230627011223.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230621011139.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230621010413.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230620010129.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20230603113114.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230524010423.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53700F14F9F811EDB1C0740753ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
