The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson upstairs at the library.
According to Amazon, this novel is set in 1950s Philadelphia, where 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 families are complicated, and his parents don’t let just anyone into their inner
circle. Eleanor hopes that a baby will help her fit in. 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.
Copies of "The House of Eve" are available at the front desk of the library.
Saturday, October 19 Jeff Subko of Shenandoah will present a program at 11 a.m. in the Library basement on General George Washington, our first military Commander-in-Chief, on the anniversary of the British surrender at Yorktown.
