What a wonderful and thought provoking read!  Eleanor and Ruby’s stories are told through alternating POV chapters.  Themes of poverty, wealth, skin color, and the drive to get an education are woven into to both storylines.

While I loved both main characters, the secondary female characters were written in such a way that we loved/hated them as well.  We grow to understand them more but their impact on Eleanor and Ruby is immense.

Definitely a must read!
