Eva's House

Ruby and Eleanor are similar in their dark skin color, charm, natural intelligence, and desperate desire to obtain an education and build a career. Only Ruby is trying to break free from outright poverty and dreams of college, while Eleanor,... a student at Howard University who is willing to work days and nights in her native school library, faces a more complicated problem: how to infiltrate the elite circles of Washington. However, the fates of Ruby and Eleanor intersect in the most unexpected way in "Eva's House," a shelter for unwed mothers, when both girls fall in love with "unsuitable men": for according to American society in the 1950s, poor dark-skinned girls have no right to aspire to white men... Finding themselves in a desperate situation, both heroines are forced to make fateful decisions…
