Publisher Notes
Eva Rutland calls No Crystal Stair "the saga of a black family. It is not the black experience, for there is no such thing." She writes with honesty, compassion and courage about one black woman's life in turbulent twentieth-century America, and in doing so, she tells a story never told before.
Media Reviews
"The novel is a frank assessment of class, color, race and gender, as well as a story of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity."
