| A landmark in African American literature, The House Behind the Cedars tells the tale of Rena Walden, who runs away from North Carolina to start a new life with her brother. Their mixed ancestry allows them to "pass" as white—and they settle into life in Clarence, South Carolina, keeping their past a secret. |
