Renaissance centers on 17-year-old Nora White, the child of Black landowners in 1920s Mississippi. Though her parents expect her to attend college, Nora instead escapes to Harlem's outskirts to pursue writing. She works as a servant to a wealthy white woman who, while unpleasant, is a benefactor to the writers and artists of the Harlem Renaissance whom Nora so deeply admires. Nora meets Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Dubois, and other figures, and she finds a mentor and friend in Hurston. However, Nora learns the hard way that racism has never been limited to the south.
