About this item
Inspired by a real-life scandal that was shocking even for the tumultuous Roaring Twenties, this captivating novel tells the story of a pioneering Black journalist, a secret interracial marriage among the New York elite, and the sensational divorce case that ignited an explosive battle over race and class—and brought together three very different women fighting for justice, legitimacy, and the futures they risked everything to shape.

For readers of Dolen Perkins-Valdez, Marie Benedict, and Victoria Christopher Murray, this transporting work of fact-based historical fiction from Denny S. Bryce, bestselling author of Wild Women and the Blues, In the Face of the Sun, and Can't We Be Friends: A Novel of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe is a gripping journey into a world of privilege and prejudice.

In New York, 1924, idealistic Alice Jones, born to English immigrants who’ve built a comfortable life, believes she’s found true love with Leonard “Kip” Rhinelander, the heir to a prominent white family’s real estate fortune. Though Alice is also considered “white,” rumors about her ancestry swirl. When the couple marries in secret, Kip’s family demands an annulment or threatens to disinherit him.

Desperate but determined, Alice faces formidable legal and societal obstacles. Enter Marvel Cunningham, a tenacious Black journalist dedicated to chronicling social change and the Harlem Renaissance. Initially viewing Alice’s plight as a tabloid spectacle, Marvel’s investigation reveals startling similarities between their lives, forcing both women to confront their identities and the harsh judgments of their world.

The Secret of Rhinelander is a powerful exploration of race, love, and courage in an era defined by its contrasts.
