“Amazing…I was completely surprised by the ending of this beautifully told and written book.”—Reese Witherspoon
“A triumph of historical fiction” (The Washington Post), an instant New York Times bestseller, and a Reese’s Book Club pick, 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. 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.

The performances were perfect. I listen to a LOT of books and I have my favorite readers (lookin at you, Julia Whalen) but these two just climbed right up to the top with JW. They read with good cadence, great inflections and it wasn’t over the top theatrical like some readers. Their reading is exactly what you want—to enhance the story and draw you in.
10/10 all around! Okay, now I gotta go start “Yellow Wife”—thank you Sadeqa Johnson!
Wow. Just…wow.
