Virginia, 1852, seventeen year old Josephine Bell decides to run from the failing tobacco farm where she s a slave and nurse to her ailing mistress, the aspiring artist Lu Anne Bell. New York City 2004, Lina Sparrow, an ambitious first year associate in an elite law firm, is given a difficult, highly sensitive assignment that could make her career: she must find the "perfect plaintiff" to lead a historic class-action lawsuit worth trillions of dollars in reparations for descendants of American slaves. Lina finds herself questioning her own family history and the secrets that her father has never revealed.
