Introduction

BEHIND THE HIGH BOARD FENCE BY HELEN BOOE MARLEY

In the novel, Helen is getting to know herself as she and the members of her family experience a year of unexpected challenges. They face their problems holding tight to their basic beliefs and their faith in the future. In their home and behind their high board fence, Helen and her brothers and sisters worked and played and learned many lessons of life.

The story further provides a unique window on the everyday happenings of an urban family in a growing town in the south and the impact industrialization had on everyone.

The author's mother described these memories of her childhood in Winston, North Carolina in the early twentieth century.
