Eva Rutland is the author of a memoir, "When We Were Colored, a Mother's Story" and a mainstream novel "No Crystal Stair" a fictionalized account of her real life. She also wrote over twenty novels for Harlequin, which featured clever plots, snappy dialogue and happy endings - much like her own life. Since her passing, Eva Rutland's daughter Ginger Rutland and her daughter Eva Schwartz work to preserve her legacy.
