.
These two women’s lives intersect in the most wonderful and unlikely of ways.
I was completely surprised by the ending of this beautifully told and written book.
” –Reese Witherspoon “A triumph of historical fiction” (The Washington Post) set in 1950s Philadelphia and Washington, DC, that explores what it means to be a woman and a mother, and how much one is willing to sacrifice to achieve her greatest goal.
1950s Philadelphia: 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.
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.

1950 年代费城：15 岁的 Ruby Pearsall 有望成为家里第一个上大学的人，尽管她的母亲更愿意养育一个男人而不是养育一个女儿。

埃莉诺·夸尔斯带着雄心和秘密来到华盛顿特区。
当她在霍华德大学遇到英俊的 William Pride 时，他们疯狂地坠入爱河。
但 William 来自 DC 的一个精英富裕黑人家庭，他的父母不会随便让任何人加入他们的圈子。
埃莉诺希望孩子能让她最终在威廉的家里感到宾至如归，并让她过上她一直在寻找的生活。
但是生孩子和融入社会说起来容易做起来难。
随着他们的故事以最意想不到的方式发生碰撞，鲁比和埃莉诺都将做出影响他们生活轨迹的决定。
