Lewis? concept of secret telling and Alicia Otano?s theory of child perspective to discuss Dori Sanders? novel, Clover (1990). In choosing a black child protagonist to narrate her story of having to live with a white stepmother, Sanders successfully negotiates cultural differences to foster cross-racial understanding. This paper demonstrates how the child serves as a mediator between cultures, bridging the gaps that separate them by choosing to tell or withhold family secrets." . "13"^^ .
